The Global Family Reunion: Holiday photo competition

In case you haven’t heard about it, journalist and author AJ Jacobs is on a mission to break the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest family reunion.

AJ decided to embark on a family history journey. His quest is to see how everyone is related and, so far, he’s made exciting discoveries of cousins and relatives from around the world.

To top it off, he’s inviting the whole family to celebrate this summer at the largest family reunion – on June 6, 2015, in New York.

Family history is all about uncovering clues of your family’s past and bringing people together who share a common heritage. The holiday season is the perfect time to get together with the family, preserve those moments and recount family memories.

As family reunions and holidays go hand-in-hand, the Global Family Reunion is offering a chance for AJ’s “cousins” to win some amazing prizes. All you need to do is submit a photo holding an “I’m a Cousin” sign by January 9, 2015 to info@worldfamily.us. There are six categories to choose from including creative cousin photo, most holiday-ish photo and most cousins in a single photo.

For full details about the competition, see the official blog post here.

We’ll post more updates in the coming weeks about the Global Family Reunion including a special webinar with AJ and more!
