Rita Marley Foundation Launches Essay Writing Competition

R

ita Marley has launched a new essay writing competition, with the theme based on her late husband, Bob Marley.

The competition was officially launched on Wednesday (April 30^th), under the theme, Bob Marley: His Music and Message.

According to a release from the Rita Marley Foundation, this theme ‘provides ample room for exploration and expression by competition participants.”

Competitors have been asked to consider and expand upon these points when constructing their essays:

·        How would you describe the impact of Bob Marley’s music on the youth?

·        What is Bob Marley’s most important message to the youth, Jamaica and the world?

·        How does Bob Marley’s life and his message encourage you to believe that you could?

·        How does Bob Marley’s music encourage peace in communities?

·        How is Bob Marley legendary?

·        Discuss your opinion of whether music can bring peace, love and unity.

This year, the Foundation has decided to open the competition to students of the following high schools in Jamaica:

·        Haile Selassie Junior High School

·        Bob Marley Primary & Junior High School

·        Marcus Garvey High School

·        Papine High School.

 

Each of these schools will assign a teacher to select its three top essays. The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2014. Judges will then choose the three best essays overall. The winning schools will receive trophies (gold for the first, silver for the second and bronze for the third respectively).

 

The winner of the competition will be announced on July 1, with his or her winning essay to be published on the Rita Marley Foundation website as well as its Harambe newsletter.
