The Ellio's Phenomenal Kids Scholarship Contest invites parents and legal guardians with children between the ages of 6 and 12 to write a brief 500- to 1,500-character submission highlighting what makes their child phenomenal. Participants will be entered in a drawing for the $10,000 scholarship. Key pillars for this year's contest include: Community Involvement, Passion With Purpose, Creativity and Academic Achievement.
Submissions are currently being accepted at http://www.ellios.com/phenomenalkids. No purchase is necessary. The deadline to apply is Monday, Oct. 14, at 8:59 a.m. Eastern Time.
The grand prize winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship, a $500 gift card and an Ellio's swag bag. The second-place winner will receive an all-expense-paid trip for four to their choice of city - New York City, Philadelphia, Boston or Washington, D.C. - plus a $100 Amazon gift card and an Ellio's swag bag. Eight runner-up prize winners will receive a $75 Amazon gift card and an Ellio's swag bag.
