Reader's Digest Looking for 'Most Interesting Town in America'

One of the nation's most widely read magazines is asking readers to submit their towns for a contest naming the most interesting locale in America.

Reader's Digest is asking residents in communities across the country to nominate their town for the magazine's "America's Most Interesting Town" contest.

It works like this: to nominate Brecksville, a resident would write a story—or a letter to-the-editor style piece—explaining why they think Brecksville is the most interesting town in America. Then, you submit your letter to Reader's Digest's phase two of it's "We Hear You America" campaign.

The winner will get their town on the cover of an upcoming Reader's Digest issue and $1,000. Winners are based on votes on the magazine's contest website. You have until May 31 to submit a community and vote for it.

Ashley Gabriel, a spokesperson for Reader's Digest, said the "We Hear You America" campaign is a grassroots effort the magazine started "that serves as a catalyst to empower Americans to help their communities."

Gabriel said the magazine already picked several winners as part of the first phase of the campaign.

I think Brecksville residents have a rich history to draw on for this contest—, in fact! What makes Brecksville special to you?
