This is a hot-button issue for every wheelchair user, and the reactions are all over the map . . . from outright hostility to treating it as a "teachable moment." What do you do when it happens? If you had the chance to teach the public that these extra-large spaces are a necessity and not a luxury, how would you go about it?
As part of our 40th Anniversary celebration, BraunAbility is sponsoring a "Respect Blue Spaces" contest on our Facebook page. Send us a catchy slogan or concept that will make someone think twice before parking in a blue parking space. Make it funny or serious, polite or inject a little attitude . . . just make it noticable and memorable. We'll select the top three entries and our Facebook fans will vote for their favorite. The winner will receive $1,000 cash, and we'll also donate $1,000 to the disability-related cause of their choice. You have 'til May 10, 2012 to enter. Go here to see the rest of the rules and submit your entry:
## [Enter the Respect Blue Spaces Contest][4]
Your slogan may end up on bumper stickers, window clings, t-shirts and a few other places we haven't even thought of yet! Good luck!!
