What do you like about your community? If you are a 4th grade or 7th grade student then
your answer to that question is in demand. Vernal City has issued the call for young
writers to express their love for their community in the form of an essay contest. The
Utah League of Cities and Towns is hosting the ‘Why I Like My Community’ essay
contest open to 4th and 7th graders. Students who win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will receive
a cash prize and their school will also receive a cash prize. Essay writers must reside or
attend school in an incorporated Utah city or town. Home schooled students are eligible
for the student contest award but are not eligible to receive a cash prize for a respective
school. Submissions for 7th grade students must be typed and submitted electronically
while 4th grade students can be typed or handwritten and submitted electronically. The
deadline is March 15th. For more information, visit www.ulct.org.
