    Hi Everyone,

    Our team is considering organizing a writing, speech, or poetry contest as part of an upcoming community event, and we'd love to hear from agencies that have hosted something similar.

    If your organization has run a contest like this, I'd appreciate any insights you can share, including:

    • How you structured the contest (submission process, judging criteria, categories, etc.)
    • Any challenges or lessons learned
    • What worked well and what you might do differently next time
    • Any policies or guidelines you found particularly useful

    We're still in the early planning stages, so any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for your help!
