The Lutherans For Life Council of Federation Presidents sponsors an essay contest each year for students in two grade categories: 6-8 and 9-12.
This contest is available for students in all states who attend a Lutheran school or a Lutheran church.
State essay contests precede the national essay contest. State essay winners in the two grade categories will be entered into the national contest. Note: Individual state rules may vary slightly so be sure to access those rules through the state links and listings below.
Some states have LFL State Federations. If you are a student in a state without a federation, or in Wisconsin, you can participate through the Non-Federation Essay Contest.
We look forward to students across the nation participating in our contest and letting their voices be heard through their life-affirming essays!
