The deadline for entry is March 27th, but the earlier essays are received, the better chance they have of being featured.  There will be a St. Johns Coach’s category as well.

There will be gift card prizes for winners in each group (with at least five entries submitted):

8 & Under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-18 and Coaches.

*We will be running free local business ads at the bottom of each essay for those businesses who would like to highlight their carryout services, updated hours, etc.  Send 600 x 500 ad to [email protected] or ask us about designing something for you.  If you would like to offer a gift card as a prize, please indicate that as well.
