What character would you choose to be yur BFF (best friend forever), and why? If you have an answer to this question, write it down and submit it to the 8th Annual Morrill Memorial Library Essay Contest!

Submissions from Norwood students must include an essay of 1,000 words or less, typed and double spaced, with an entry form. Submissions must be submitted by Monday, April 15 to Nancy Ling of the outreach department or by email at, [email protected].
In addition to bragging rights, winners will be awarded in each category. The first, second and third prizes are $35, $25 and $10 dollar gift cards to Barnes & Noble, in that order.
The contest is categorized into three levels:

Winners will be chosen from a panel of unbiased judges who will evaluate and select the essays according to five equally-weighted categories:
• Address Prompt (or Topic)
• Development & Organization
