Help Us Get Out the Word That Vultures Rock Through Your Poems!
If you think about all the things that vultures do for the environment, they really do ROCK! But vultures are in big trouble. Their numbers are dropping around the world, mainly because people know so little about them and why they need to be protected.
To honor vultures for Halloween 2011 and also help raise awareness of their plight, Vultures Rock is sponsoring a poetry contest for kids ages 8 to 12. Write a poem on a topic related to vultures, such as: why vultures are important to our world, what vultures look like, why vultures are beautiful, what’s happening to the world’s vultures, or something spooky about vultures and Halloween -or choose a topic of your own that describes how you think vultures rock.
Three winners will be announced by October 28, 2011, just in time for Halloween. Each winner will receive an iPod Shuffle. Winning poems will be published on the Vultures Rock website (http://www.vulturesrock.com/). Students will be identified by first name only.
Contest Rules:
1.Kids ages 8 to 12 are eligible to submit poems of no more than 16 lines (not counting the title).

3.Poetry must be the original work of the entrant.
