If chosen, your entry will be published in an anthology. The top ten winners in each grade, receive a $50 savings bond and a free copy of the anthology. So what are you waiting for?

RHINOS AND BEARS, HEARTS AND WOOD

Looking for something to do during April vacation week?

Here is a fun contest to enter - not to mention a great writing exercise for all you would be writers out there.

The contest is this: Write a short composition containing the following words: heart, plush, sweet, bear, rhinoceros, silvery, wood. Be careful not to omit any word and don’t forget the title! When you're done, submit your entry to the following website: http://www.revistatus.ro/english/monthly-contest-april-2010.html

If you win, they will make a postcard based on your entry - just like real writers do when they have a new book published! So sharpen your pencils and get writing!
