All sixth-grade students are invited to participate in an essay contest celebrating Dads and Fa- ther figures. Navidad Valley Cat tleWomen will be accepting entries postmarked by May 1. The topic is: What makes my Dad or Father-figure so great, and why he should be awarded a beef gift certificate?
The prizes are: 1st prize - $60 beef gift certificate, 2nd prize - $50 beef gift certificate, and 3rd prize - $40 beef gift certificate. Beef gift certificates can only be used to purchase beef either at a local meat market, restaurant or grocery store. Entrants must be in the 6th or the equivalent thereof and reside in Fayette, Lavaca or Colorado counties.
The essay should be no fewer than 50 words and no more than 250 words and needs to be solely the work of the entrant. To avoid disqualification, a stapled cover sheet with the student’s name, address, telephone number, father’s name, school name and address, and teacher's name should be included. Essays will not be returned.
Additionally, the winners’ names and portions of their essays may be published in local newspapers. The essays will be judged on both style and content.
The judges' decisions are final.
Winners will be chosen by May 10.
