Protecting the Earth for Future Generations - Writing Contest!


© Jill Florio

Here is your chance to enter a writing contest, called Protecting the Earth for Future Generations. This writing contest will benefit the Red Cross Disaster Emergency Services!

The contest is intended to inspire all who read the entries to preserve our natural resources so that we, our children and our grandchildren may enjoy them. It's time for every person to take responsibility to preserve the flora and fauna found on our planet to ensure that our children and grandchildren are able to enjoy nature.

The first prize is $100.00 donated to the Red Cross in the winner's name. And Suite101.com will donate all proceeds from the sale of a new e-book that includes the 50 top entries from the writing contest to the Red Cross.

What to I do? Write a short essay. Simply tell the judges how and why, in 800 words or less, you would protect the Earth. There is no entry fee, but you better hurry to get your submission in before the March 31, 2005 deadline.

The topic "Protecting the Earth for Future Generations," was inspired by the recent Tsuamani disaster overseas.

It was originally suggested the proceeds be donated to the Red Cross and earmarked, "Tsuamani disaster," but after much thought and discussion, it was decided to donate the money to the Red Cross with no specific instructions. Each day, all over the world, disaster strikes. By donating to the Red Cross, Suite101.com is standing by their policy, Real People Helping Real People.


Here is exactly, step by step, how to enter this contest:

  • Write a short essay. Tell us how and why, in 800 words or less, you would protect the Earth.

  • You have to sign up as a member at Suite101 here, which is free and takes less than five minutes. And anyone can send in their essay - there is a kids' section as well as adults! It's for a very worthy cause, and we'd like to see as many people get involved as possible.

  • Send your entry copied and pasted in an e-mail to red@suite101.com. The entries will be forwarded to the judges.

  • Deadline - March 31, 2005. Winners will be notified no later than May 1, 2005. Good luck! :)
