Calling All EMS People…


…bloggers and readers alike.

EMS1.com is having an essay contest:

Paramedics and EMTs share stories from the field with their colleagues every day. Now, here’s your chance to reach out to other providers from across the nation and share your stories!

EMS1 invites you to submit a short original piece to our 2008 Excellence in EMS Award throughout the month of April. We are looking for a short story, tribute, or essay that exemplifies this year’s EMS Week theme, “EMS: Your Life is Our Mission.”

A panel of industry judges will pick the best stories and an exclusive EMS1.com feature will be written about the winner, who will also receive an award and a $200 gift card.

Whether it’s a detailed submission of a miraculous save or an accolade to one of your colleagues – use the EMS world as inspiration for your story!

Contest ends April 30, 2008.


Now, I know there are some talented EMS writers right there on my blogroll. Rocky Mountain Medic, Firefighter Girl, Baby Medic, Mr. Fixit, JB, just to name a very few…

And yeah, that means you too, LawDog and MonkeyGirl. Just because you’re not actively working in EMS doesn’t mean you’ve left the fold.

I won’t be submitting, as there’s a pretty fair chance I’ll be on the judging panel, but nothing would tickle me more than to see someone from my blogroll win this thing. Write something memorable, and I’ll pimp your story (or your blog) mercilessly from right here.

You’ve got until April 30th.
