The first reason why you should nominate your father is…he’s your father.  Fast forwarding to reason number 50, that is the amount of the gift certificate from Park 52 restaurant in Chicago’s Hyde Park Community.

To win the certificate, you must tell me why, either in writing,  photo slideshow, or video, what makes any deserving father in your life a good father.  Written submissions should be 100 words or less.  Slideshows and videos can be up to 2 minutes.

Be sure to include:

•           Name of nominee
•           Why the person should receive the certificate
•           A photo of the nominee (not required, but nice)
•           Your name and relationship

The winner will be determined by the number of comments (votes) for individual posts, which means you will have to encourage people to visit Shorty and vote for your caregiver.  The deadline for submissions is Friday, June 4, 2010.  The winner will be announced on Wednesday, June 9, 2010.

Special thanks to Marc Brook, President of Park 52, for his generous support with this contest.
