TOPIC

ALL AGES: "Why Eat Beef?"

Youth members of all ages should write an essay explaining why they feel it is important to include beef in your diet. Members may choose to further narrow the topic, for example by writing about why consumers should eat Charolais, local or Canadian beef (or some other "type" of beef").

The submissions will still be judged by age category. Expectations for the content structure and writing style will differ depending on the age category. You must follow the requirements for your age catgeory as set out in the Competition Rules (see link above).
