(MONEY Magazine) – ARE YOU SMART ABOUT MANAGING YOUR MONEY? Enter our first annual personal-finance contest and find out. You can win $10,000 in cash and a Macintosh computer and be featured in an upcoming issue of MONEY magazine.

Show us your financial smarts. We want to honor the country's topnotch personal-finance managers in five categories: single, single parent, married, married with children and retired. We will judge performance by how well you saved, invested, spent and planned for your future during the past year. Our grand winner, chosen from one of the five categories, will be featured in MONEY and will be awarded $10,000 plus a Macintosh Performa 560 computer loaded with the MONEY Magazine Edition software. Value: $3,900. Our four "best in class" winners will receive the Macintosh computers with MONEY software. To enter, complete the questionnaire on the following pages. If you or your spouse dispenses financial advice as a profession, you are ineligible. Mail your entry to Best Personal Finance Manager, P.O. Box 7754, Melville, N.Y. 11775-7754 by June 17, 1994. Your questionnaire will be scored by a panel of personal-finance experts and MONEY's editorial staff. See page 155 for contest rules.
