Define Your Own Success Contest

We Want to Know What Success Means to You
We also want to share it with your fellow SWE members. As a result, you could win a gift card.

How to Enter
We know that success means different things to each of our members. We also know that to tell your own story, you need to tell it on your own terms. We invite you to share with us how you define your own achievement through the method of your choice—audio, video, visual poster, written essay or poem.

How to Win
Be creative, be inspirational and most of all, just be yourself. Through this contest you’ll help kick off our SWE60 Anniversary Celebration. Your story will inspire others to join in celebrating 60 years of inspiring perspectives and achieving success on our own terms. It can also help you win a prize. First, second and third place winners will receive gift cards in the amounts of $150, $100, and $50 respectively for the most inspirational stories. Winners will be announced at the WE09 Lava Lounge but need not be present to win.

If you have questions, please contact Aline Fetter.
