Win second chance at prom royalty
Spring is the season of sweet-smelling flowers, pastel-colored attire, acoustically sung love songs and, in Southern Nevada, winds strong enough to blow your Easter bonnets from here to eternity.
But the part of spring that really inspires passion -- for good or bad -- is the high school prom. There's a good reason for that foreboding feeling you, dear readers, are experiencing. Yes, we're about to ask for something. But it could be fun (really).
We'd like to choose our own prom king and queen. Take that, all you snobby kids who spurned us way back when. But we're digressing ...
Send us one of your prom photos and a description in 250 words or less of your prom experience and why you think you should become the R-J's prom royalty. This is open to anyone, whether your prom was in 1949 or 2009.
Once we've made our selections, we'll run another story in the newspaper and online about the winners, along with some of the other photos we receive. In addition to the recognition and honor, winners will receive a $50 prize.
Send your photos to Prom Royalty, Features Department, Las Vegas Review-Journal, P.O. Box 70, Las Vegas, NV 89125-0070. Or e-mail them to pmorgan@reviewjournal.com with "Prom Royalty" in the subject line. The deadline is 5 p.m. April 5.
