For the second year in a row, Verizon Wireless is sponsoring a My Fabulous 15 Party contest to win “the Quince of your dreams.”

Last year's My Fabulous 15 Contest Winner, Athaly

This year’s party will be held October 3, and the prize includes transportation for up to ten guests to the party, a personal event planner, audio/visual screens, dinner for up to 200 guests, a DJ/emcee, decorations, a birthday cake, a professional photographer, a videographer,  plus there will be a live concert from pop artist Pee Wee.

Only teens from Los Angeles, San Jose, Las Vegas, Denver and Kennewick, Wash. can enter by writing a brief essay that answers these three questions:

1. What does winning a Quince mean to you?
2. How do you stay in touch with your friends?
3. What is your favorite subject and why?

And here’s some other important info:

“The person entering can also include any financial, medical or other hardships faced by the teenager; his/her goals, dreams or plans in life; community involvement or personal service to benefit others; scholastic achievements and how winning the Grand Prize would change his/her life or the lives of others.”  If you’re applying definitely do this!

The submissions are due August 16 and the semi finalists will be voted on by the public.

I have to admit, this sounds fun and absolutely worth entering.  If you do enter, I’d love to hear what you wrote so post it here.
