win fabulous prizes in our Family Poetry Contest!
David on Aug 29th 2007
We are thrilled to announce Family Pride’s first ever Family Poetry Contest! Starting today, we are accepting poetry submissions based on the theme, “love is….” We’re excited to offer a huge list of fabulous prizes generously donated by our contest sponsors. To learn more about the contest, read the official rules, browse the prizes or submit your family’s poem, click to www.familypride.org/poetry.
Jennifer Chrisler, our executive director, penned a letter to contest participants:
Poetry is a powerful tool for communicating truth. Poetry says what sentences cannot and speaks in a language that connects all people at the deepest level. With this in mind, we created our first ever Back-to-School Family Poetry Contest!
As the dog days of summer wind down, and homework, school lunches and football practice once again consume our lives, I encourage you to sit down with your family and collectively draft a poem about this year’s theme: “love is….” Talk about the contest at a family dinner, during a family meeting or your way to practice. But most of all, have fun with this contest!
The contest is open to all families, gay and straight, moms and dads, grandparents, parents, single parents and guardians, so take some time and submit your poem today! All the submissions will be included in a spectacularly designed poetry book that will be available for download free from our website.
We encourage you to submit a family picture with your poem. Entries will be accepted until our midnight deadline on September 19.
