Bluffton and Ada Icons had separate snow photo contests. Here's Bluffton's winning photo. Melina Meza, a senior at Bluffton HS, took this photo. She said that it sits there as a reminder of all the little rabbit footprints that can be seen in the snow around Bluffton. Watch the Icon for more snow submissions this week.

You don’t have to be a movie expert to enter the Icon’s Golden Globe Awards contest.

Of course, it helps if you are, but the contest includes multiple-choice questions and that evens the playing field as much as we can tilt it in each contestant’s favor.

The Golden Globe awards presentation is Sunday evening, Feb. 28. Contestants may enter until noon on Feb. 28.

Like our previous contests, you may enter as many times as you wish, but you may use your own name only once.
