2020 Fall Magazine Article Contest - The New Normal: What Do You Think It Will Look Like?

In December 2019, who knew that while all eyes were on what was then referred to as the Wuhan Coronavirus in China, that this Novel Coronavirus would evolve into a Pandemic as it spread globally, leaving devastation and death in its wake. When will this go away? When will we return to normal?

2020 Fall Magazine Article Contest - The New Normal: What Do You Think It Will Look Like?

5 Winners - Each will receive a $200 MasterCard or Visa Card

Although the deadly virus most likely made its way to the U.S. in December, the first U.S. case was confirmed on January 30, 2020. Since then, COVID-19 has spread like a massive wildfire that has ravaged the Northeast and Northwest and has finally taken aim on the South. Unfortunately, It appears that COVID-19 is not leaving us anytime soon.

We all have experienced huge changes in every aspect of our lives. The question on everyone’s mind is "When will things get back to normal?" After all we have experienced, we also wonder “What will the new normal look like?” That’s what we want you to share with us.

This contest is somewhat different from past article contests. With this article contest, we want you to share your stories and ideas of the future with us. So many of you read and liked the Spring Issue of the allnurses magazine - our first COVID issue. We are giving you the opportunity to share your stories in our Fall Issue of the magazine. Five articles will be selected from the contest entries to be featured in the magazine. Each winner will receive a $200 Visa or MasterCard gift card. All submitted articles will be published on the allnurses site after the winners are announced and the magazine is published.
