March 8th was International Women’s Day, of which Diane von Furstenberg is a huge supporter. In the spirit of this holiday, Diane von Furstenberg has launched a contest in which you can win a $5,000 DvF Shopping Spree, trip to New York City, and a chance to have a seat at the 2009 DvF Fashion Show. This prize package is absolutely amazing and it is simple to enter. All you have to do is write an essay about the women who inspire you. The contest runs through April 19th, 2008.

Description: Diane von Furstenberg believes in the transformative value of women’s participation in society. In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8th, DVF invites you to share the love with an inspirational story about a fabulous, strong, intelligent woman who has nurtured or inspired you. What woman has accentuated the spirit of camaraderie of women, mentored or encouraged you? Submit a photo with a detailed description or write a blog, with photos if you’d like, of a woman who has positively impacted your life.
