Ottawa Chinatown BIA is offering $2,000 worth of prizes for creative story writing! Chinatown will soon be undergoing an exciting makeover and installing new street furniture (e.g. benches, litter bins, etc.). The new furniture is designed to represent Asian culture and will display various symbols, such as lanterns, dragons, seasonal flowers, and zodiac signs. For your chance to win, write an original story that describes the meaning behind these symbols and how they came to be. (To see images of these symbols, please visit our website at www.ottawachinatown.ca.)

Each winning story will receive a $100 gift certificate. There is no fee and no limit to the number of articles an individual may enter. Please submit each entry separately and include your name, address, phone number, and email address. Your entry should be typed and emailed/delivered to:
