So as part of the Nor’Easter awards, we are once again pleased to announce this year’s special contest – tell us why you were late submitting your entries this year! We are looking for your best short videos describing a situation or occurrence that would have caused you to miss this year’s Nor’Easter deadline and welcome submissions of all types – serious, funny, and everything in between. The taller the tale…the better!
