Theology of the Body for Teens has
made its way all over the country, giving teens an authentic sense of self. This
dynamic high school program has opened up a life-giving vision for teens of love
and sexuality as God intended them to be, effectively helping to renew a
generation of Catholic youth. Equipped with the truth of God's design in their
male and female identity, many of these teens are preparing to venture out as
individuals and adults, able to influence their peers at colleges and
universities, and later in their chosen professions.
To assist these motivated and faithful high school
students, Ascension Press is sponsoring an essay contest for high school teens.
One young man and one young woman will each win the Grand Prize of $1500, plus a
$500 Gift Card to Ascension Press for their parishes or schools.
High school students are invited to submit essays
detailing how the Theology of the Body has impacted the way they see themselves
as young men or young women in today's culture. There will be a Young Men's
Category and a Young Women's Category, with Grand Prize, 2nd place, and 3rd
place winners announced for both categories. Ascension Press will also be
donating gift cards to the winners' schools or parishes/churches.
All students enrolled in high school for the
2010-2011 school year are eligible. Essays must be submitted to
program@ascensionpress.com by May 23rd, 2011.
To download the entry form, and to learn more
about participating, rules, and eligibility, visit TOBforTeens.com.
Here you will also find posters that you may
download and distribute to promote the essay contest.
May you have a blessed Holy Week and a joyous Easter season.
Sincerely,
Steve Motyl
