Essay Contest

Olive Garden is sponsoring an essay contest-I copied the details below


TEACHERS WHO INSPIRE ARE RECOGNIZED
THROUGH OLIVE GARDEN’S ESSAY WRITING CONTEST
Olive Garden’s Pasta Tales begins online Oct. 19

Reading, writing and arithmetic — no matter the subject, teachers often leave their mark on students, inspiring them to strive for success and reach their goals. In recognition of teachers across North America, Olive Garden has announced the topic for its 14th-annual Pasta Tales essay writing contest: “Describe a teacher who has inspired you in school and how they have impacted your life.”.

From Monday, Oct. 19 through Friday, Dec. 11, 2009, Olive Garden’s Pasta Tales contest will give young writers in first- through 12th-grade in the U.S. and Canada the opportunity to share their stories in essays of 50 to 250 words. Pasta Tales entry forms and complete rules will be available beginning Oct. 19 at www.olivegarden.com/company/community/pasta_tales.asp and on Oct. 26 at local Olive Garden restaurants..

The contest grand prize is a three-day trip to New York City including dinner at the Olive Garden in Times Square and a $2,500 savings bond. Winners also will be chosen in each grade category and will receive a $500 savings bond and a family dinner at their local Olive Garden restaurant.

Pasta Tales entries must include the writer’s name, complete address, phone number with area code, grade, date of birth including year and a statement that the work is their own. Entries must be submitted either online or postmarked by Dec. 11 and sent to Pasta Tales, PMB 2000, 6278 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33308-1916.

Submissions will be judged based on creativity, adherence to theme, organization, grammar, punctuation and spelling by the Quill and Scroll Society of the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Iowa, with finalists selected by Olive Garden.

Here is Tracy's WIF

Where I’m From
By Tracy

I am from a clothesline with clothes flapping in the wind, from Coca-Cola in a glass bottle and Ivory soap.

I am from the tilled dirt of the big family vegetable garden full of corn, tomatoes, and butter beans.

I am from the azaleas and the magnolia tree in whose branches I could sit and read.

I am from family reunions and bad eyesight, from Ken and Elaine, the Pyrons and McCords.

I am from the worry-warts and the blue-eyed blondes.

From if so-and-so jumped off a bridge, would you? and if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

I am from Baptist churches, Just As I Am and all the old familiar hymns.

I’m from an army hospital in Germany and Fayette County, Georgia,
Sunday roast beef and Ma’s fried pies.

From the old homeplace near Statesboro and mule-drawn wagons, the grandparents who scrimped and saved, and the concerts with my sister in the basement.

I am from an old family Bible that is crumbled with age, black and white pictures of ancestors and shared stories at family reunions.
