Created to encourage inter-generational conversation, the Legacy Project's Listen to a Life Essay contest is looking for entrants ages 8-18 to interview a grandparent or grandfriend, 50 years or older, about the key hopes and goals in their life and how these were achieved. To enter, the young person is required to submit a 300-word essay, based on that interview. The 14th annual Listen to a Life Contest runs until March 28, 2014. One Grand Prize Timeless Award-winner receives a Lenovo ThinkCentre computer, and a keepsake timepiece from Expressions of Time. In addition, ten Legacy Award winners also receive a keepsake timepiece from Expressions of Time, and all winners receive a framed award certificate and an autographed copy of Dream, an award winning bestseller about time, legacies, and dreams across a lifetime. This year the Legacy Project will be featuring selected stories as these come in to recognize as many entrants as possible. Students, librarians, and teachers can find out more about the Listen to a Life Essay Contest, including complete contest rules, at www.legacyproject.org. This national contest is run by the Legacy Project, a big-picture learning project, and the nonprofit Generations United in Washington, DC.
