Deal Saver - brought to you by the Charlotte Observer

We're kicking off our annual "How I Shot My Summer Vacation" contest.

We hope you’ll be back from your vacation before Sept. 9. That’s the last day we can accept photos from your trip in our annual “How I Shot My Summer Vacation” contest. On Sept. 22, we’ll publish the winners in our four categories.

Let's be honest. Your teen's room is a disaster. We're having a contest to find the worst teenager bedroom in Charlotte, and the winner gets a makeover. Tell us your story by June 24.

Send us a photo of your cat, dog or other pet and tell us what makes your companion so special.

It’s about time for grilling and outdoor entertaining to begin in earnest. Got a great tip? Send it to clever@charlotteobserver.com and you could win an “I’m So Clever” T-shirt. Extra points if you include a good jpeg photo. To win, you must include your name, address and phone number in the event we need to contact you. Roland Wilkerson
