I’m excited to announce the CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS for the Operation Beautiful book! 
I am looking for 125 notes and/or stories to be included in the book, which will be published in Fall 2010 by Gotham Books.
- Has Operation Beautiful changed the way you see yourself?
- Have you posted a note in a unique place?
- Do you have an amazing story to share with the world? Specifically, I’m looking for stories about body image, family, friends, food, fitness, random acts of kindness, and faith.
If so, I want to hear from YOU! I am looking for:
- Notes with unique messages. For a list of inspirational quotes, check out Great Minds and Inspirational Quotes. Or come up with your own message!
- Notes in unique places. Think beyond the bathroom mirror – post an Operation Beautiful note in an unusual place:
- On a bottle of diet pills, 100-calorie packs, or diet shakes
- On a car windshield
- At the hospital
- In your classroom
- At the hair salon
- In a magazine
- In a menu at a restaurant
- In a library book
- At the dog park
- On your race number during a 5K
- Written in chalk on a sidewalk
- And more!
- Stories of why YOU are truly beautiful. Whether you’re 10 years old or 70 years old, there is something that makes you amazing. Again, I’m looking for stories about body image, family, friends, food, fitness, random acts of kindness, and faith. I want to hear your message!
Enter your note and story using this form. Over the next two weeks, I will review all the submissions I receive and select the 125 most creative notes and/or touching stories to be included in the Operation Beautiful book! Also, I will be giving away some prizes via my personal blog, www.HealthyTippingPoint.com!
ENTER NOW! ENTER NOW! ENTER NOW!
This contest will take place from October 5 to October 19 – you have two weeks to brainstorm your creative note and send it in! Multiple entries are accepted. Remember, I’m looking for creative notes in unusual places, and I’d love to hear YOUR story about why you are truly beautiful. Here are some examples of creative notes. I’ll choose 125 notes to be featured in the book! You must submit an actual photograph to be considered for the contest, but I’d like to hear stories as well for purposes of writing the book.
To enter your note in the contest, visit the Submissions Page on Operation Beautiful.
