Awards, awards everywhere. It seems like everywhere you turn nowadays, you will see some advertisement for another award show. It’s no different for you today. The Academy Awards are coming up on March 5 and we’re giving you a chance to win our annual contest. Each year, we ask you, our devoted readers, to challenge us to a battle of wits, and by wits, we mean our picks for the major Academy Awards. Will there be a prize? Of course there will. Are we going to tell you what it is? Of course we’re not. It’s a surprise.

This contest will end March 1 at 5 p.m. We will call the winner the day after the Academy Awards and notify them. To enter, go to www.northernstar.info/flavor and enter all the proper information along with your picks. We’ll do the rest. The contest will start Wednesday at 5 p.m.
