Whooo Hooo! Our 4th Annual Writing Contest is officially launched and I am really pumped. We've got great prizes lined up, teachers are already e-mailing us for more details and I can't wait to get the first entry. (check out our website http://www.lexingtonfamily.com/ for the details)
In 2005 when we launced the first Writing Contest we received 125 entries from kids in grades K-5. The next year we more than doubled that with over 300 entries. Last year we were overwhelmed by over 650 entries. If we double again this year I am in deep trouble - I might be reading 1,200 entries! Just in case, I've lined up several elementary school teachers to help me read them.
The American Girl Company is on board with us this year providing 2 of their newest Girl of the Year doll, Mia, as prizes. Mia is an adorable, freckle-faced ice skater, who comes with a beautiful skating costume and a book about her life.
Check back here soon for photos and details on our other great prizes.......
