SKOWHEGAN — The Margaret Chase Smith Library has announced the topic of its 24th annual essay contest.
As the Pine Tree State commemorates its bicentennial year, the library invites Maine high school seniors to look to the future and share ideas of how they would propose to make the state “the way life should be” for young people so that more of them will choose to live in a place with one of the oldest populations in the nation.
Entries are due by April 1, and decisions will be announced by May 4.
Prizes are $1,000 for first place, $500 for second place, $250 for third place and five $50 honorable mention prizes.
