Marsh’s Edge is accepting essay submissions through February 10 for the 10th annual Senior Living Communities Silver Pen writing competition. Three local high school seniors will be awarded cash prizes up to $2,500. Students are asked to write about someone, other than their parents or relatives, who has had a tremendous influence for good in their life and to share the ways this person (or people) has influenced their goals. The Silver Pen competition was established in 2012 by Senior Living Communities, to bridge the communication gap between high school seniors and senior citizens. To date, more than $386,000 has been awarded to students. “Members at Marsh’s Edge form The Silver Pen Committee, overseeing the essay topic selection, evaluating the submissions, and awarding the three prizes,” says Marsh’s Edge Executive Director Chris Thorpe. Award recipients will be announced in Spring 2023. Details at Silverpen-SLC.com.
