Answer Health is hosting a contest through the beginning of September to showcase inspirational “60 somethings” and highlight West Michigan events and activities.
Anyone aged 18 or older can nominate a friend or family member, aged 60 to 69, who has achieved remarkable levels of fitness, pursued a new hobby or given back to others in some way. Nominations also can include those fighting a chronic condition or caring for someone who is.
Winners will be photographed and included in a calendar.
To nominate someone, log on to the West Michigan 60 Strong website and apply. Applications should include a 200- to 400-word essay, headshot and a full-length photo by Sept. 3.
Answer Health said 12 winners will be selected by a panel of judges, contestants are judged on their commitment to leading an active lifestyle, community involvement, volunteerism and how they are inspirational to others.
Winners will receive “celebrity treatment” with a professional photoshoot and compensation for their modeling time.
Those who nominate winning candidates will receive a $50 gift certificate.
