Warner Norcross & Judd LLP is inviting all sixth-grade students in the Grand Rapids Public School District to participate in its Fifth Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Essay Contest.

The contest asks students to write an essay on one of four topics designed to encourage students to think about how Dr. King's legacy of peace and justice applies to the world in which they live.

Essays must be a minimum of 200 words and may be either typed double-spaced or handwritten. Each essay must be in English and include the student's name, school and teacher on each page.

Deadline for submission is Wednesday, Dec. 9. Essays should be submitted to any of the student's teachers.

Winners will be announced on Jan. 18, 2010 during the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Peace Program at 12:30 p.m. at Grand Rapids Community College. Winners will also be recognized during a program at 6:30 p.m.

Winning students will receive either a savings bond or a gift certificate to a local bookstore. Prizes and certificates will be awarded during the GRPS Board of Education meeting on Feb. 1.

Essays will be judged by Warner Norcross attorneys and staff on originality, clarity, organization and knowledge of Dr. King and his work in the civil rights movement.
