Funded by the Leibovitz Foundation, the Legacies II contest offers 53 prizes of from $100 to $2,500 for writing winning essays on aging.
The contest challenges writers to answer one of these questions:
What are the challenges you face as an older person and how do you deal with them?
Given the breadth of your life experience, how do you use your knowledge to benefit yourself and others?
Are there roads still untaken that beckon to you? How could these roads enhance the dignity, meaning, and sense of joy in your life?
The contest's entry deadline is July 31.
Entries can be up to three pages long; they should include the writer's name, address, and birthdate.
Writers may submit just one entry.
To learn more about the contest, please call the New River Valley Agency on Aging at 980-7720 or 639-9677.
