IF THIS IS NOT COMPLETE YOUR ESSAY WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED! Also, YOU MUST! SIGN THE BETTER WORLD AGREEMENT FORM! A LINK WILL BE ATTACHED&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the contest is only open to students in Grades 3-7 (including &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;homeschoolers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;/individuals) in Canada and in the USA, however, I will accept essays from students older or younger than this age, but they will not be eligible for the Cash Rewards.&lt;br /&gt;More detail on the competition Follows: &lt;a href="http://www.scribd.com/full/32742775?access_key=key-1u209eumh1r1zrbyozah"&gt;http://www.scribd.com/full/32742775?access_key=key-1u209eumh1r1zrbyozah&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I am targeting this particular age group is because I can ask for an &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;adults&lt;/span&gt; opinion, but I find a child's answer would be more honest and more of a teaching rather than a Lecture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any questions, you can post them to the page that is entitled Questions/Comments on the Sidebar on the right, or, if you need immediate assistance, please contact &lt;a href="mailto:anthony.hope@hotmail.com"&gt;anthony.hope@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt; or Call 778-899-2819.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Note - You can also find our competition on the Jane Goodall Roots and Shoots Project Database here: &lt;a href="http://www.rootsandshoots.org/resources/projectdatabase?prjid=B9611721-BAB7-3CD1-B3A0-2E36B7441000"&gt;http://www.rootsandshoots.org/resources/projectdatabase?prjid=B9611721-BAB7-3CD1-B3A0-2E36B7441000&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4415400590961008975-7829933065074657587?l=wbpcontest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
