Here are the 20 finalists. Winners will be announced during the middle of March.

The winner of the contest may choose between a three-night Mexico cruise for two offered by Bon Voyage Travel or a $1,000 travel credit toward the purchase of a different cruise vacation.

A panel of judges will determine the winner, and many of the stories will be part of an upcoming feature in the ¡Vamos! section of the Sunday Arizona Daily Star. You can help the judges and editors by leaving comments about these 20 finalists.
