Lake County Rising launches essay contest
High school students in Lake County are invited to participate in an essay contest for Lake County Rising, an organization focused on ending violence against women.
An essay of 500 words or less should address three points: What does a future without violence look like?; How would it benefit you personally to have a future free of violence?; and what do you intend to do to help create a future that is free of violence?
Essays which incorporate the themes rise, resist, and unite will be given top consideration. Entries should be emailed to sbankston@lakecountyil.gov by Jan. 3. Winners will receive a monetary award and be notified by Feb. 5.
