10 Contests that Changed History

Inspired man

Sadly, I haven’t had a lot of success winning contests lately. That reality has started to sink in and I’m feeling a bit depressed. I’d settle for a free cup of tea or maybe a good book. I’m not asking for a trip to Hawaii, a car, or lots of cash. Just something that I could write about; that I could experience and you could experience along with me. That’s been my intrinsic motivation for this blog since it began, and will continue to propel me forward.

In any case, it’s time to get inspired. Sandra Grauschof’s post made for a very interesting read, and I’ll hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. Ponder her initial question:

Have you ever thought about how many contests have changed history?

Then, take some time to read the amazing true stories about how contests have been the catalyst for change and invention.
