Writing Contest Opportunities

Here are a couple of opportunities for kids who are more motivated by writing contests.

1)This one's for homeschool students 8 - 12 years old sponsored by Walden Media and The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. More info about the contest can be found at this link: http://www.walden.com/walden/win/comeback/write-like-mike-homeschool.php

2)For the older students aged 17 - 23, The Trinity Foundation is sponsoring a Christian Worldview Essay Contest.  The topic book for the Contest this year is Freedom and Capitalism: Essays on Christian Politics and Economics by John W. Robbins. This is a collection of essays that demonstrates the Biblical foundation for liberty --  both in politics and in economics.  In our society today, we have abdicated our Biblical responsibilities and have let the government take more and more of our liberties away, often with our consent. Freedom and Capitalism is a reminder that we are to conform all our thinking, including our thinking on government and economics, to the written revelation of God in the Bible.

 

The Essay Contest is open to those 17 to 23 years of age. Cash prizes are awarded for the top three essays  --  $3,000 for first prize, $2,000 for second, and $1,000 for third. The complete rules and entry form may be found at our website or by clicking on the links. If you are eligible, please enter the contest. If you are too old, please urge your children and grandchildren to enter.

Writing will play a different role in each person's life. For some it might be a way to earn a living, for others it might be a skill they need to manage their tasks at work or home, and for some it might mostly be for pleasure, but obviously we want to equip our children to be able to handle whatever life throws their way.
