From now until May 31, 2012, locals are invited to log on to www.readersdigest.com/america to share personal stories and photos that illustrate what makes their town special.  The author of the winning story will receive a cash prize of $1,000 and their town will be featured on the cover of an upcoming issue of Reader’s Digest magazine.  This is an opportunity for individuals to shine and possibly bring national attention to their hometowns!

In addition, each week a new American town will be named America’s Most Interesting Town by popular vote and will be featured on the website and in an upcoming issue of Reader’s Digest.  Locals can show their community spirit by logging on and voting for their town as many times as they like.

This is all part of the Reader’s Digest We Hear You America campaign, a grassroots initiative that serves as a catalyst to empower Americans to help their communities.  We encourage you to let your area know about this opportunity and start a conversation locally about what makes your community unique.
