By Annette Pinder

 

You, or someone you know, could be featured in the 2021 Buffalo 60 Strong calendar, an exclusive calendar showcasing inspirational “60 somethings” and highlighting Buffalo events and activities. In addition to appearing in the calendar, winners will also be featured in Buffalo Healthy Living Magazine and receive “celebrity treatment” — including a virtual kick-off party, professional photo shoot, and compensation for their modeling time.

Anyone can nominate a friend or family member who is between the ages of 60 to 69, who has achieved remarkable levels of fitness, pursued a new hobby, or helped their community. The candidate you admire might be giving back to a charity, fighting a chronic condition, or caring for someone who is. 

Here’s how it works:

  • Log onto www.Buffalo60Strong.com to submit an application form, 200-400 word essay, head shot, and full-length photo by Monday, August 31. Instead of the essay, you can opt to upload a smart phone video describing the candidate.
    To enter by mail, download an application at www.Buffalo60Strong.com and mail the completed form, a 200-400 word essay, head-shot, and full-length photo to: Buffalo 60 Strong Contest, c/o Buffalo Medical Group Administration, 325 Essjay Road, Williamsville, NY 14221. The entry must be postmarked by Thursday, August 27, 2020.
  • Those who nominate a winning candidate will receive a $50 gift certificate.
  • Buffalo 60 Strong candidates must be between ages 60 and 69 on September 1, 2020, and a resident of Alleghany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans, or Wyoming county.
  • Celebrity judges will select 12 winners who exemplify how life after 60 can be a vibrant and active time. Contestants will be judged on health, fitness, and wellness; their community involvement and volunteerism; and how they are inspirational to others. Winners must be available Thursday, October 1 through Saturday, October 3.
