A yearly essay contest, celebrating the joys, the challenges, and the absolute irreplaceable role of a mother, with essays told from each mother’s story and through their own words.
This contest is open to local mothers of every age. Please submit an essay that is up to 500 words. Feel free to write about what motherhood means to you, an area of motherhood that you feel needs to be spoken about, or a personal story about your journey as a mother.
