Deadline for essay contest is April 17
Does attitude really matter? We know it does. United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cincinnati is sponsoring its second annual disability awareness essay contest, “ATTITUDE,” open to all third through eighth graders in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. The program aims to promote
understanding by allowing young students to open their hearts and minds and write an essay based on the attitudes they encounter toward people with disabilities. The overall winner will receive a Kings Island Season Gold Pass for four. All first place winners in each grade division will receive a $50 mall gift certificate, a Certificate of
Appreciation, have their essay published in their local Community Press and Recorder newspaper, and will be transported from their school via limousine to an Awards Luncheon hosted by PF Chang’s in Norwood. Students can choose to interview a child or adult with a disability and write about the experience, read a book about people
with disabilities and describe the impact the attitudes of others have on their lives, or write about their own observations or feelings toward people with disabilities. All entries will be judged on the basis of creativity, originality, quality of writing and understanding by grade division. The panel of judges includes professional authors, journalists,
librarians, teachers and people with disabilities. Entries are due by Friday, April 16. For additional information or to request a contest packet, please contact Lisa Brown at 221-4606, extension 15 or visit the UCP website at www.ucpcincinnati.org for a listing of the rules and an entry form.
