Outlooke Pointe Foundation and the PTC-CSJ Foundation are calling for entries to their Sagip Children's Storybook Writing Contest with the theme "Saving Our Seas".
They're looking for entries from writers from all ages, and in addition, they just need a story that is 500-750 words long. The winning entry will be published into a book and illustrated by one of OPF's inhouse artists. Said book will then be distributed to public schools nationwide in accordance with OPF's mission of enriching English literacy amongst Filipino kids. In addition, the published books will be distributed exclusively through Powerbooks.
Once again, the story is for kids so write accordingly and appropriately. Also, the winning entry gets to pocket PHP40,000, a trophy and gifts from the contest's sponsors. But money aside, even just being published and doing it for the kids should be incentive enough for many to send in entries.
Deadline is on November 30, 2009 and all entries are to be submitted electronically. You can read the rules and download the application form here.
