Time for the 6th Annual Teen Essay Contest

The 6th Annual Teen Essay Contest will address the question

“Why are you pro-life?”

Winners are the recipients of $200, $150 and $100 according to placement. All entrants will receive an amplifying smartphone stand. The two 1st place winners will be asked to read their essays at the noon rally in Charleston on Monday, February 18th as part of annual Pro-Life Rally Day. The two first place essays will also be published in the quarterly WVFL newspaper Life Matters and in the annual Pro-Life State Convention Resource Manual. The top three essays in both categories will also be mailed on to National Right to Life in time for their national Teen Essay Contest in 2019.

The contest is in effect from October 1 through November 8 (postmarks after October 31 will not be accepted). The final results will be revealed as soon as possible after the new year begins.
