They are touching reminders that our lives today are built on the lives and loves of our parents and grandparents. All we want you to do is tell a simple story of how things have changed for your family over the years.
If you can do that in just two photos and a few paragraphs, then this is your chance to tell that story and win a great prize.
The ten winning stories will be published on the census website. Top prize for the overall winner is stack of Olympus photographic equipment, plus a compact digital camera each for the nine runners up.
