New Orleans girls between the ages of 11 and 18 are invited to submit an essay detailing how they would improve New Orleans if they were Mayor for the day. The contest is open for submissions beginning March 19, and closing April 19. Two winners will be selected, sworn in as ‘Deputy Mayor’, and get a chance to shadow Mayor Cantrell for an entire day.
