Congratulations to our Essay<br />
Contest winners!<br />
A winners' circle of three writers was chosen from the many good<br />
entries to this year's 500-word Essay Contest. Walter Joseph MacDonald,<br />
for his essay Trudeau, and Colleen Sloan, for her untitled essay, were<br />
chosen by judge Rick Taylor in the Over 18 category.<br />
In the Under 18 category, judge Rita West chose Jasmine Lefresne's<br />
essay The Secret Life of Barbie.<br />
See pages 30 and 31.<br />
We have been delighted with the response to the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong>'s four<br />
<strong>2005</strong> contests: the photo, drawing and essay contests and the short story<br />
contest for young writers.<br />
There had been a lot of interest expressed in the short story contest for<br />
students in grades 1 to 8. However, only a small number of entries were<br />
received by the April 22 deadline. So the deadline for this<br />
contest has been extended to Friday, <strong>May</strong> 20. See page 40<br />
for Short Story Contest rules.<br />
