Mary--You can still send me one just for fun (g). I have to be strict with the contest rules so I couldn't judge it, but it would be fun to read.

I am so gonna enter this contest!!! I've been writing since I was 13 (almost 19). If I'm almost 19 do I still need parents permission? Does the essay have to be spelled check with grammer punctuation etc. ?

As an adult, you don't need your parents' signature.

As for grammar, if I have some entries that are amazing, I may have to pick the winner by which is formatted the best. So do your best. That's actually a good motto for everything in life. For instance, when I'm writing a series and think of some cool things to happen in a book, but wonder if I should save it for a future book, I remind myself to give each book ALL my creativity and energy so they are all the best I can make them.

Good luck!
