 "GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY" Virtual Talent and Art Contest - Enter by July 1 for judging to win $$$!

2020 was an unusual year, scary and somewhat secluded. To start off Spring of 2021, Age Well Forsyth presents a fun and challenging contest for our seniors, with cash prizes (and of course the corresponding ribbons). 
The topic of this contest is “Growing Old Gracefully”.  When you think of growing old gracefully, what comes to mind?  I’m sure a number of things do. Well, here is a contest where you express your idea by making it come to life by entering ONE of the following five contest categories:

ART (Painting, drawing, sculpture, wood, mixed media, craftwork, etc) (submit photo)
MUSIC (Instrumental or Singing) (submit video)
DANCE (submit video)
COMEDY /DRAMA (submit video)
 WRITING (poetry or short story) (submit Word document or PDF (1,000 words or less))

In EACH category, prizes will be awarded: 1st Prize is $100, 2nd  Prize is $75, 3rd Prize is $50
