It brings us great pleasure to announce the winners of the 1st Annual Youth “Dream Rig” Essay Contest.
We received over sixty essays from US licensed young amateurs from all over the world. The essays were unique in thought and very well-articulated. Extra points were given for proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. Most of the essays gave unique perspectives on how to reach out and connect with the youth of today. We will be sharing those ideas in subsequent postings.
