WRITING CONTEST FOR DADS

I am submitting for your consideration a free writing contest sponsored by the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy that may be of interest to your readers/writers.

The “Devotedly, Dad” letter contest is open to America’s fathers and grandfathers as an opportunity to encourage a love of reading and writing in their homes. We’re asking dads to write a letter to a child or grandchild about the importance of literacy and learning.  Write from the heart, the head or the funny bone and simply sign it … “Devotedly, Dad.”
