The Post About the "Ashes" Contest

Hey Gang,

It’s time for an exciting first here on the “We Are Marshall” blog, our first contest! And what better prize for fans of “We Are Marshall” than the true story that the film is based on: “Ashes to Glory.” I’m giving away eight (count ‘em, eight!) copies of the recently re-released DVD.

If you want to win, all you have to do is email me with the story of your favorite Marshall University memory. Funny, sad, it matters not to me, I just want to hear about it. Make sure the length is under 500 words. Then, just email your story to jmcelroy@herald-dispatch.com by noon on Dec. 1. I’ll pick the eight best and announce the winners here, on my blog on Dec. 5. Give your email the subject of "Ashes Contest" so I'll know why you're emailing me.

Also, we'll run as many of the entrants as we can in The Herald-Dispatch.

If you want to check out the DVD you’re competing for, click away.

No purchase necessary. By entering, you agree to abide by the official contest rules, which are available by calling (304) 526-2895. Employees of The Herald-Dispatch and any contest sponsors are not eligible. Void where prohibited. You must be 18 to enter.
