Black History Month Contest

Life of A Naturalista is hosting its first ever Black History Month Contest. This contest was being done in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. only, however, with the recent passing of Nelson Mandela, I wanted to pay tribute to not only one, but TWO great men.Take this opportunity to learn more about the history of African American hair.  The prize is incredible! One lucky winner will receive this beautiful gift of natural/organic hair and skin products mostly by Shea Moisture. Their new website is under construction, but see here to be notified when the new website has been launched. Also, the gift prize includes a Revlon nail polish :-)

Want to win this prize? Read on to find out the details on how to enter the contest!

Here are the rules and regulations:

1. Each entry must consist of a timeline displaying the history of African American hair covering at least 3 decades (1 pic per decade will suffice, more pics give more points!) if you cover over three decades, two additional points will be added to your overall score.

2. The details of the timeline you create is your choice. For example, the date of a particular African American hairstyle (in its natural or unnatural state), an icon that represents that style, a fun fact about hair products used in African American hair, or any like details will earn you one pt for each detail.

3. The entry with the most points win! There is only one entry per person. The colors you use, the font and other elements used to create your African American hair timeline has free reign!

4. Address for prize must be within the 48 United States, Puerto Rico or U.S. Virgin Islands.


This is an opportunity for your creativity to shine!  There is no age limit and you can work as a group, but keep in mind that there is only one prize and how you split the prize is totally up to you.

Entries must be submitted by February 25th and the winner will be announced on February 28th. Your entry must be submitted as an attachment (JPEG file is best) and emailed to niaimbue@gmail.com. Microsoft Publisher can also be used to create an informative and creative hairline. Just save pictures found with interesting facts and insert the attachment on a blank publisher document. You can manipulate the size of the pictures and everything!
