Win a conference pass for BlogHer 2010 in New York!

The bloggers and writers of Blue Star Families spend a lot of time and effort reaching out to the civilian community.  While our families are fighting two wars and surviving and thriving all that goes with that, only a small percentage of our nation really knows what our lives are like.  We'd like to change that.

As bloggers, we invite people into our worlds every day.  As military family bloggers, we invite people into a world of chaos, deployment, kids, family, life, reintegration, red tape, frustation, joys and homecomings.  It's a beautiful world and more people should see what goes on in the life of a military family.  Now, we'd like to help you reach a broader audience.

The annual BlogHer conference is the largest gathering of blogging women in the world. This year's conference will be in New York City, August 6-7, 2010.  From blog design to politics to blogging your passion to changing the world, the BlogHer 2010 conference agenda covers it all.  And we hope to see military family bloggers there as well. 

We've already heard from several BSF members attending the conference and New Media Director Stephanie Himel-Nelson will be speaking on a panel.  If you'll be at BlogHer, leave a comment here or send us a message on Facebook. We're working behind the scenes to pull something fun together for our milfam peeps!

It's not too late, if you'd like to join us.  While the BlogHer conference has been sold out for months, Blue Star Families is giving away one fully paid conference admission.  That's right.  We have a ticket for the hottest sold out blogging show in town.  And we want to give it away.

If you'd like the chance to attend BlogHer 2010, here's how you can enter to win:

• Join Blue Star Families
• Write a new blog post about your military family, linking back to http://bluestarfam.org

That's it!

One writer will win the full conference admission for the BlogHer conference in New York on August 6th and 7th. Only blog entries before July 1, 2010, will be considered.

We'd also like to feature some of your essays on the BSF website with a link back to your site.  If you don't want your content cross-posted here, just leave us a comment and let us know.
