The contest is now closed

Thank you for your interest in the Together We Play essay contest. The contest is now closed, and we are beginning the judging process. We are overwhelmed by your commitment to inclusive play, and are excited to read the essay submissions.

The final announcement of Grand Prize and Regional winners will be on or around Sept. 30, 2011. You can stay up-to-date on the judging process and more right here.

The countdown is on

It’s Sunday evening, and I’m curious how many people are still working on their essays for the Together We Play contest. Since last Friday, we’ve received 15 essay submissions a day. That brings our total to more than 100!

So far, we’ve received essays representing 32 states and four Canadian provinces. Do you think we can achieve representation from all of them?

The contest closes tomorrow, Aug. 1, at 11:59:59 p.m. PST. Be sure to submit your essays via playlsi.com before midnight! If you need any further motivation to finish your essays, check out this video.
