You've seen the headlines and you know they don't tell the whole story. The Greater Metropolitan Detroit community where you live is the sum of its parts and holds lots of great memories about the people and places you know best. It's where families grow and thrive, where the heart of Motown and techno music continue to beat, where cars are stars.

It has culture, entertainment and more than 11,000 beautiful lakes. It's an international gateway to Canada, and where sports of every kind reign supreme. So, come on, tell your side of the story. Create your own headline and give us your reasons why, deep in your heart, you still believe in Detroit and the surrounding southeast Michigan area.
By doing so, you could win one of 15 Scholarship Awards!
