Writing Contest

Due to the overwhelming response to our writing contest, we’re giving our judges some extra time. We want to be sure they have time to carefully read and consider all of the submissions. So we’ll be announcing the winner for both the adult and teen contests on June 11.

Thanks for your patience!
