Tell us why your mom is magnificent, win $1,000 shopping spree | Community Spirit

WAFB-TV and American Factory Direct Furniture wants to find one special mom who always goes above and beyond. We're looking for a mother who is involved in her community and who somehow finds time to do good not only for those she knows, but for those she doesn't know, as well.

WAFB will choose one Mother to be recognized and honored as Baton Rouge's Magnificent Mother. Please tell us in 250 words or less why the mother  you're nominating should receive this honor.

Submit your nominations by emailing them to contests@wafb.com or sending them to "Magnificent Mom" Search, c/o WAFB-TV, Baton Rouge, LA 70802. Please include your name, address and telephone number, as well as the name address and telephone number of the Mother you're nominating. Nominations must be postmarked or submitted via email no later than May 7.

WAFB-TV and American Factory Direct Furniture reserves the right to edit and publish your submission. We regret that we are unable to return or acknowledge submissions. Nominees and nominators are subject to rules and restrictions below.
