Dear Contestants and Contributors,
We’re excited to once again launch another edition of the Yakezie Writing Contest! The YWC’s goal is to award money to deserving contestants who will use the funds to further their education. The money can go towards tuition, books, application fees, and other costs which make furthering one’s education cumbersome at times.
Although you cannot touch education, we believe education is critical to success. It’s often hard to see the value of that which we cannot see, but we can promise that education is fundamental in getting a job in a field you like, building a business, and giving you the optionality to do more!
As a community of bloggers, every week we put thoughts to words for the world to see. Sometimes we write about a fear that debilitates our every move. Other times, we seek advice on which fork to take. Often we share with readers our own experiences so you will be better prepared when your turn comes. Through these words, we’ve made friends and found support in areas we thought never existed. Communication is wonderful, and we hope you can share your wonder with us.
At the Yakezie Network’s very core is the culture of giving back, and we cannot be more honored to support educational endeavors through this process. Recently, I had the privilege of working with a FS Online Services client and would like to commit $500 of the earnings towards the YWC. The Yakezie Network as a whole will be raising more than $1,000 in educational money for at least three winning contestants in a $500, $300, and $200 ratio. Depending on contributions, we’d like to award two more contestants $100 each for a total of five winners.
