Essay Contest!

In order to help educate our visitors on the importance of good insurance coverage, Affordable Insurance Options Online is sponsoring an insurance related essay contest! The contest is open to anyone who has a true story to tell about how any type of insurance policy made a big impact on their lives and financial well being. Did adding extra coverage to your homeowners policy save your house? Did a pet insurance plan save your beloved dog or cat? We want to know your story! Every submission will be reviewed and considered for one of three cash prizes. The submission guidelines and entry form are below.

Cash Prizes:
Grand Prize Winner = $200
