The McKinley and Sylvester Jackson Book Award:
Family Enhancement Center and Prioritybooks Publications are
co-sponsors of the contest.

McKinley and Sylvester Jackson were the older brothers of the publisher of Prioritybooks Publications. They both died too young of cancer. While living they encouraged their siblings to continue their education and did whatever they could to make sure that education remained the focus. They felt strongly that education was the key to success. This book award is an essay contest on any issue that affects teenagers which may affect their education success. We are looking for essays that are powerful and that will help adults to understand teenagers and the problems that they have to deal with. We want to help! Show us in your words what the issues are. Essays must be at least 500 words. This contest will begin January 15, 2007 and will end on April 15, 2007. The winner will receive a $300.00 scholarship to be used toward education expenses. In addition, essays may be printed in a teens' book published by our company. Applicants must be high school seniors planning on attending college or a technical school.

 An application can be filled out and printed by clicking here.
