Winners will receive $300 for first place, $200 for second place, $100 for third place, and the winning essay will be sent to the New Mexico/West Texas district level to compete for a college scholarship of $2,500.
“Young students today have so many fresh ideas about the world and their future,” Sunrise Optimist Essay Chairperson Karen Hamilton said. “As Optimists, it is our goal to encourage them and do what we can to bring out the best in each of them.
