Friends of House Rabbit Society,
We have a few corrections to the recently-mentioned Dare to
Care for a Hare poetry contest. Sorry for any confusion!
Please note that the first-place winner receives the $250
top prize for personal use (of course they can donate to
HRS if they like, but this is not requred!) and 4 copies
of their poem printed as an artistic letter-press broadside
(like a small poster on nice paper) suitable for framing.
The second and third place winners also receive broadside
copies of the first-place winning poem. (Only the first-
place poem will be made into a broadside.) The top three
winners will decide to which HRS chapters they would
like the entrance fee profits to go. One quarter of the
profits will go to HRS Headquarters in Richmond, and the
rest will be decided by the top 3 winners.
Here is the corrected contest submission announcement.
Thank you for your participation.
