While developing the writing prompt for this year’s theme (“Old School Olympians”), the idea that “I’m too old for this” kept coming up--an idea that had greater meaning for some committee members than for others.  This disparity created the birth of a new award for teachers/sponsors. 

Teachers and sponsors of students who took this year's Medusa Mythology Examination are invited to write a creative composition no longer than 500 words on the topic of “I’m too old for this . . . “ You may use any of the “Old School Olympians” to tell the tale of when that deity realized that “I’m too old for this . . .” 

Your submission must follow the criteria given in the handout (below).  All submissions must be sent via e-mail to Ann N. Graham (anagrahm@yahoo.com) and are due by 11:59 p.m. on August 19, 2011.  

The top awards will receive prizes of  $250. 

All questions, as well as completed Homer Award application, should be e-mailed directly to:
