Press Release Summary =
Weaverville, NC, February 13, 2007 - In the depths of winter, February is a month in
which women are encouraged to think about love. Annmarie Edwards, author of the new
book 50 Ways To Maximize Your Potential, is putting a fresh spin on this tradition
by urging women to celebrate their full success as a contributor to the world. To
that end, Edwards is sponsoring an "Every Woman" contest during February, open to
all women 18 years of age and older who are residents of the United States
(http://everywomancontest.blogspot.com).

Press Release Body = "The inspiration for the contest came to me one night as I was
preparing for bed," says Edwards. "The image of a woman appeared to me in the
bedroom curtain, and I painted her the next day. This empowering image made me want
to find out about other women's images of empowerment."

Her contest asks women to acknowledge themselves and their achievements by answering
three questions:

1. How does it feel to be a woman in the 21st century?

2. What distinguishes you from other women?

3. How do you celebrate your success and the success of others?

Entries will be accepted through the last day of February and then judged by
Annmarie Edwards and volunteer judges. Ten first prize winners will receive a 5" by
7" print worthy of framing of the painting that inspired the contest, as well as a
vacation certificate for two in Mexico or one of 26 U.S. destinations, not
including airfare and other redeemable charges. Other prizes, listed in detail on
the web site http://everywomancontest.blogspot.com along with the full contest
rules, include additional vacation certificates, gift certificates and a six-week
journaling e-course. No purchase is necessary to enter the contest and winners will
be announced on the contest blog March 7th, 2007.
