Essay contest! What Kids Can Do (WKCD) and Next Generation Press are updating “Hip Deep: Opinion, Essays, and Vision from American Teenagers,” a book of nonfiction essays by youth across the country. They’re inviting youth, ages 13 to 19, to submit nonfiction essays (approximately 500 – 1,000 words) on a topic that you care about deeply. It could also be a speech you gave or an article you wrote (perhaps for your school newspaper)–something that made your friends and your teachers say, “Wow.” Winners will receive a $100 Amazon gift certificate. Winning essays will be published on the WKCD website and in an updated e-book version of Hip Deep. http://bit.ly/Rw6DK6
