Concerned about violence in Philly? Here's your chance to change things with your pen....and possibly with a free laptop too!
Here's more from the contest sponsor:
The Pepsi Bottling Group is sponsoring a writing competition, in an attempt to hear and publicly voice the opinions of those most affected by the violence in Philadelphia, the young people.
The “Aquafina Youth Reporter Contest,” invites Philadelphia residents, between 16 and 25 years of age, to write a 500-word essay on “What causes youth violence and how can we stop it?” The contest is designed to raise awareness about violence in the community – and spark discussion about possible solutions.
Two winning essays, one by a male and one by a female, will earn the opportunity to serve over a two-month period, as an “Aquafina Youth Reporter” in The Philadelphia Tribune, where their winning essays, as well as one additional column on a subject of their choice, will be published in the newspaper from late October through December. Each winning contestant will also receive a laptop computer – to encourage them to keep writing.
