The Society of American Archivists is holding a contest on "I Found It At
the Archives" click here.
 
The (USA) National Archives is offering "their  take" on this contest!
Whether you were helped at the main archive, or one of the branches across
the country--what did they pull out of the stacks for you- a record,
photograph, commendation?  They want to hear from you.
 
To enter the contest, submit a 400-word written essay or a short 2-minutes
video which describes your quest for information and explain why finding it
has made a difference for you.  Submissions are accepted June 9th through
August 9th and public voting takes place August 23 through September 13th.

Winners will be announced in celebration of Constitution Day- September
16th. The first prize will be a gift from the National Archives gift shop
not to exceed $50.00 in value; second and third prize will have a value not
to exceed $25.00 form the gift shop.
