WES Time Essay Contest

It’s getting close to WES time (that would be February 2, 2009)!  And in celebration for the upcoming Wilsonville – Beaverton commuter rail, TriMet has an essay contest!  Access it here.

While prizes aren’t specifically mentioned, the contest rules do state that there’s one prize valued at $86, which is, hmmm, how about this: just about how much a monthly all-zone pass costs!  I wonder what the first prize is…   There are also “up to 30 prizes” that are valued at $4.25 a piece… which, yes yes, are the price-point for an all-day all-zone pass.

In any case, what I’m most interested is this:

“All participants will be entered into a drawing to win an invitation to a preview ride on WES Commuter Rail and your essay might be published on trimet.org!”

TriMet!  Let me on a preview ride on WES!  And also, TriMet!  Please link to me!

The contest closes on December 9th at 5 p.m., so you have a month to write a 100 words or less essay.  What are you waiting for?  Get writing!
