Today in the San Jose Mercury news, an article about the essay contest and photo contest the Cupertino Library Foundation is running in conjunction with Silicon Valley Reads 2011. Two grand prizes of $500 each and two prizes of $300 each will be given to the winners of the essay contest, and four prizes of $100 each will be given to the winners of the Holga photo contest (Holgas can be checked out at the Cupertino Library).
Essay contest: Applicants are asked to describe in 500 words or less how the themes of The Year of Fog deal with discouragement, human frailties and the power of perseverance, hope, faith and love. Essay writers are being asked to think about what role fog plays in the story. The essay contest is open to all adults living or working in the city of Cupertino or students attending Monta Vista, Homestead, Cupertino or Lynbrook high schools.
