An essay and poetry contest for Klickitat County youth ages 12 to 20 has been announced. Participants are asked to write on the theme of Unity, using as inspiration a quote from Baha’u’llah, founder of the Baha’i faith: “So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.”
Cash prizes will be awarded to First, Second, and Third Place winners of the contest. Essays are to be 250-500 words; poems need a minimum of three verses. All entries must be received by October 15, 2017.
The essay and poetry contest is sponsored by the Baha’is of Klickitat County, “in hopes that we can begin engaging our young people in the idea of bringing people together to accomplish good things in our homes, communities, and in the world…..to counteract the tendency toward divisiveness and polarization that seems to be increasing daily.”
