What would you say if you suddenly had the attention of 25 million people?  Would you share a compelling story of your life or someone you know?  A talent that no one else possesses?  A special song or video?  America Online has launched "15 Hours of Fame," a new contest that gives winning entrants 15 hours of national stardom using the power of the internet.  To be considered for the opportunity, A-O-L members create and submit A-O-L journals, also known as Blogs, that share their biggest secrets, talents, stories or more compelling information.   Bill Schreiner from A-O-L, explains more:

"Fifteen Hours of Fame is a contest we're running at A-O-L that gives everyday people the chance to 'star' in the world's largest stage.  What we're doing is asking our members to share a story from their past, an interesting hobby or occupation - their 'words-of-wisdom' and the winners will be put on the A-O-L Welcome screen where they'll be able to share what they've submitted with an audience of over 25 million people for 15 hours."

The contest runs until November 18th.  For more details, go to A-O-L  keyword "15 hours."
