2008 CEC FOR LIFE YOUTH CONTEST
Our 2008 contest purpose is to allow the creativity of youth in the CEC to flourish by asking them to create a never before seen idea to preserve the sanctity of life especially protesting abortion. We would like to tap into the creativity of youth today to release the gifts of the Holy Spirit each one is given through their ideas.Each person participating should produce an original idea that they believe would protest abortion in a peaceful way that others could be involved in and that they feel would aid in the fight to end abortion. The following list of ideas were developed as creative ways that people (especially youth) could use to raise awareness about the truth of abortion.
1. Silent Siege
2. Silent Day of Awareness
3. Pro-Life T-Shirt Day
4. Operation Rescue
5. Crosses matched to number of abortions
6. Rock for Life (began leading pro-life youth to spread message through music).
7. Sidewalk Counseling
Since each person must produce an original creative idea, each entry will be graded accordingly. Incorporation of some of the techniques listed above can be used to assist in producing an original idea.Entry due date will be announced soon as well as announcement of winners.Winners will receive their expenses paid for to attend the International Convocation 2008 in Orlando, FL. in order that they may be recognized for their achievement and present their idea to other youth attending.
Here is a list of resources that may be helpful to participants:
1. Youth Defence( Ireland’s foremost prolife youth organization)
