Is fund raising necessary?
No – the contest can be as simple as a single classroom essay assignment with other staff or community members serving as judges. The format for the essay contest is flexible, and we encourage you to implement the Laws of Life Essay Contest in a manner that best suits your community. As the John Templeton Foundation aptly advises, “Do what fits!” As your contest grows, you may want to add prizes. Many times local service clubs or businesses are willing to donate prizes or funds for scholarships, as are PTA’s or PTO’s. These organizations can also be a source of judges for the contest. Involving the wider community in a positive way is an added benefit of this program.
