As a part of our upcoming Women Manifesting Systems of Care virtual event, the BCC Archives is holding a writing contest, sponsored by our community partners at Bronx Community Board 5, the Davidson Neighborhood Center and the New York Public Library, Francis Martin Branch!

Writing contest guidelines:

All youth are invited to send in a story or essay or other written work highlighting a woman (or women) that contribute to the health and well-being of the community, you, your family or in some way made the community better. We ask that these works be no longer than 2 pages in length.   What you want to write about, how you want to write it: essay, biography, story, poem, etc. is all up to you!
