Borders, Gather.com and Mitch Albom are teaming up to run a writing contest for this spring’s Mother’s Day. The challenge is to write “an original story that relays a childhood memory of a particular moment in which their mother stood up for them.”
The first prize is a seven-day cruise for two.
Essays must be 300 words or less and will appear on Gather.com, where the top 10 picks will be selected. The winner, chosen by Albom, will be announced May 10 on “The Early Show.” The nine finalists each will receive a $100 Borders gift card.
Submissions will be accepted starting Wednesday, and continuing through April 25.
