The Kalamazoo Institute of Art will be holding an essay-writing contest. The contestants must write a 200 word essay that goes with a picture by Dorothea Lange named “Migrate Mother, Nimpomo, California.” Each essay must be at least 200 words, completed by October 29, and and turned into the museum’s website. Anyone in sixth grade and higher can join this contest, and be able to win 100 dollars in cash and have their essay published on the computer. I chose to do this current event because I think it is nice of the museum to give money to someone for writing a report. I love writing, and even though I am not planning on joining this contest, I think it would be fun to do it. I like the thought of only writing a little 200 word- essay, and winning 100 dollars! In this picture, it shows a mother and her children crying over something that I think is very hurtful, and I do notice that there is not a picture of the dad in this picture. Overall, I think this is a great contest and I hope many people join it, in order to win some money.  Good luck to you all!
