High Falls will host the Greentopia Festival, presented by Monroe Community College to celebrate the region's "green" movement.
As part of the diverse programming for this years event, to be held Sept. 17 and 18, New York Sens. Joseph E. Robach and George D. Maziarz are sponsoring an essay competition encouraging kids to think green. The essay question posed to students is: What do you see as the biggest environmental or health problem facing New York and what is your solution? Students ages 8 to 13 can submit essays. Writers of the top entries will be invited to the Greentopia Festival as honored guests to present their ideas in front of a panel of judges.
First place will receive a $500 savings bond; second place, a $250 savings bond; and third place, a $100 savings bond. Students are asked to keep essays to 500 words or fewer and while pictures and visuals are encouraged, contestants will be judged on their written work.
All eligible aged students should submit their essays by Sept. 7 to the Greentopia Festival, 137 East Ave., Suite 201, Rochester, or email them to info@greentopiafest.com. Submissions must include: a copy of the essay, any visual materials, students full name, age, home address, phone number and name of the school theyll attend this fall. Only one entry per child is permitted, and late submissions will not be accepted. Finalists must appear at the festival in order to win.
