A Contest I Didn't Win Changed My Life

Starring Parker Stevenson

Tiger Beat's Smile Contest

Entering the contest was simple: all you had to do was send in a picture of yourself with your best smile and write in 25 words or less "Why Shaun and Parker bring a smile to my face." It was the summer of 1977 and I was 12 years old. I knew that the odds were a million to one against my being the winner. In fact, I felt silly even entering. But there was no way I could not do it.

Paula Meets Parker

The contest ad offered the chance of appearing on-camera with Shaun and Parker, but none of the photos of the winner showed that part of the adventure - if it ever materialized. But it's clear Paula definitely received the best part of the prize: meeting Parker. (Shaun was present in the photos only as a poster in the background at the Tiger Beat offices.)

Paula, are you out there? Do you have any memories of the trip that you'd like to share?
