APPA Pet Poetry Contest

"October 19, 2009
GREENWICH, Ct.—The American Pet Products Association (APPA) is now accepting poems for the 2nd Annual APPA National Children’s Pet Poetry Contest through its public awareness campaign, Pets Add Life (PAL).

Third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students are invited to write a unique poem about their pets, what they love about them, the joys they bring, and then post it online at www.petsaddlife.org or mail their final poem and submission form to: Pets Add Life, 45 Winter Street, Reno, NV 89503. Deadline for submissions is January 15, 2010 at 5:00pm EST.

Two students from each grade level (six total) nationwide will win a generous amount of pet products and a “byline” in a nationally circulated publication. In addition, the six winning students’ classrooms will each receive a $1,000 scholarship to spend on pet-related education.

“Our goal with the Pets Add Life campaign is to help engage our nation’s youth in the joys and benefits of pet ownership,” Bob Vetere, president of APPA. “Last year we received a great response to the contest from students, parents, teachers, and principals alike, and we’re looking forward to another great year of creative pet poems by inspired children across the country.”
