The Optimist International Convention is taking place today through Tuesday, July 8-10, 2018 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
During the convention, the topics for the Scholarship Contests for the coming year are revealed. They are:
Optimist International Essay Contest - "When All the World's Problems are Solved, is Optimism Still Necessary?"
Optimist International Oratorical Contest and Communications Contest for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing - "Is There a Fine Line Between Optimism and Reality?"
When available, complete contest rules will be posted at http://www.optimist.org/member/scholarships1.cfm.
Please use this notice as a heads-up so that your Optimist Club can make connections with your local schools in August.
All scholarship contests begin at the Optimist Club level. If you are a potential student contestant, teacher, counselor, or parent, please find an Optimist Club near you at this link.
We love stories about your Optimist Club. Please tell us one and we'll add it to the website.
