I can't believe they pay me for this!
One day I was a writer, the next day I was the editor of the nation's first and No. 1 community journalism project--The Northwest Voice. Writing has always been my passion, and I had contributed upwards of 60 submissions before I became editor. Now, I'm basking in my good fortune and loving every minute of creating what I believe are masterpieces of unpracticed, non-professional, straight-from-the-heart journalism.

Vacation photo contest!

Take "The Voice" on vacation!

Northwest and Southwest Bakersfield residents (or employees), summer is fast approaching, and it's time to pack sunscreen, passports, and DON'T FORGET your copy of The Northwest or Southwest Voice!

Vacationers using our Voice in their photos and then sharing them via our web site will be entered into a contest to win dinner on US! (Dinner seems to be a very popular prize -- PF Changs?  BJ's?  Roadhouse?  Winner may even get to PICK where they want to eat!)

Get creative!  Northwest Bakersfield neighbor James Seay and his wife Carrie traveled to Washington D.C. and took their Northwest Voice to the Pentagon!  No, that isn't a prop!  James is really standing where presidents have stood -- and THAT is a copy of our Northwest Voice!

Join the fun!  We will be publishing photos as they come in all summer.  In August, we will select the best photo and make you famous!!

(*special consideration will be given to the resident who takes The Voice to Fenway Park and gets Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek to hold it!)

Enjoy your summer, and don't forget to Take "The Voice" on vacation!

To enter, simply go to either www.northwestvoice.com or www.swvoice.com, click the yellow "share your voice" banner at the top of the page, which will direct you to sign-in, sign-up, or POST an article!  Use the headline "Take The Voice on vacation" and we will take care of the rest!
