You may be aware that Green Mountain Power is holding a contest called the Vermont Writers' Prize. Entries can be sent anytime before November 1st. The theme is "Vermont--Its People, the Place, Its History or Its Values," and the prize is $1500. The winning entry will be in VERMONT MAGAZINE in the March/April edition. Entries can be essays, short stories, or poems and cannot exceed 1500 words. Send to Vermont Writers' Prize c/o Green Mountain Power, 163 Acorn Lane, Colchester, VT, 05446.
Enclosed is my entry which deals with my hometown of Proctor. I thought that some of your teachers or students might be interested (and perhaps submit their own entries).
Sincerely,
Ray Pentkowski
(If you would like to see the sample entry, please get a paper copy of the contest details from class).
