write

Think you can write a compelling essay about the importance of your eyesight? If yes, here is your chance to shine. Galileo SurgiCenter, a specialty clinic based in Manila, has launched an essay writing contest as part of its 1st Annual Sight-Saving Month Celebration.

The theme of the essay writing contest, which runs until 30 August 2008, is "Why Eyesight is Important to Me" or "Bakit Mahalaga ang Aking Paningin." Anyone can join, bloggers and non-bloggers alike. You just have to comply with a set of requirements.

I am definitely joining this one and I'd like to invite you to join, too. This is a great way to improve our writing skills. After all, it's not everyday that this kind of opportunity comes along. Win or lose, I'm sure we'll have fun.

View the complete contest mechanics at Boy Kuripot's blog or see the contest poster here (also courtesy of Boy Kuripot).

Good luck!
