APS-FH “Be Kind to Animals” Writing Contest
In celebration of the 95th Annual National celebration of BE KIND TO ANIMALS Week and Month, the Animal Protection Society Friday Harbor announces their first BE KIND TO ANIMALS Writing Contest for children grades K-12. Submissions are to be mailed or emailed to the shelter office and winners will be chosen in early July 2010 by the APS-FH Board with announcements of said winners in both the Journal of the San Juans and the shelter website, www.apsfh.org.
Each entry should be written in English with correct spelling and grammar, be an original essay or poem about an animal of their choice and should not exceed 1,000 words in length. Essays will be judged on creativity, writing style, grammar, and spelling. We are looking for stories that are entertaining and have a creative description of taking care of an animal or animals.
The contest entries will be divided into three age groups; 5-8, 9-14 and 15-18 with a “Grand Prize Winning Story” chosen from each age group receiving a grand prize graciously donated by the new owners of Ace Hardware Friday Harbor, Island Bicycles and the Art Department of the Office Center. Two prizewinners will also be chosen from each age group as second and third place winners, which receive a complementary movie pass donated by a private individual to The Place Theatre in Friday Harbor.
To participate in the Contest, each entrant must visit the www.apsfh.org website to find an official contest entry rules, and each entrant must follow the submission instructions. Good luck and happy writing. For any questions please contact Tawny Martel at the shelter office at 360.378.2158 or by email at [email protected].
