November 16, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

As many high school seniors complete their college application essays, the American Meditation Institute invites them to think more deeply and submit an essay to the 3rd annual National Conscience Month Essay Contest. This year one high school senior will receive a $2,000 scholarship toward higher education for the best essay that clearly explains how they experimented with using (or ignoring) the wisdom of their brilliant conscience in their decision-making process.

As many high school seniors complete their college application essays, the American Meditation Institute invites them to think more deeply and submit an essay to the 3rd annual National Conscience Month Essay Contest. This year one high school senior will receive a $2,000 scholarship toward higher education for the best essay that clearly explains how they experimented with using (or ignoring) the wisdom of their brilliant conscience in their decision-making process.

When faced with the prospect of leaving home to go to college, learning a trade, taking a gap year, or going straight to work, high school graduates need confidence and skills to enter young adulthood. The capacity for self-reliance is not found in the relentless onslaught of information from mobile devices, cable outlets, emails, and social media feeds. Today’s students, and the rest of society, have not been taught how to manage their thoughts in this frenetic environment.

According to Leonard Perlmutter, originator of National Conscience Month and author of the new book, YOUR CONSCIENCE, “At present there is no educational curriculum focused on teaching students exactly how the mind makes a decision, every time, and how to use the Conscience as a practical resource in this process. This national essay contest for teenagers at a critical moment in their personal development, will establish an awareness of the positive value of regularly using their Conscience as a trusted guide to knowing what’s to be done and what’s not to be done.”

Perlmutter’s book, YOUR CONSCIENCE, provides a clear and accessible explanation of how the mind works and offers practical tools for readers to experiment with this knowledge. The Conscience is one of four functions of the mind, and the key is learning how to coordinate them as a group in order to make choices that lead to lasting happiness and fulfillment, rather than instant gratification. The book can easily be adapted into educational curricula at the middle and high school levels, and beyond.

High school seniors can enter the scholarship contest now, and submissions are accepted through January 28, 2022. The contest winner will be announced the first week in February, 2022.

The mission of National Conscience Month is to foster a national conversation that inspires individuals of all ages and political affiliations, governments, school systems, faith leaders, non-profits, community organizations, corporations, believers, atheists and agnostics across the United States and the world community to experiment with using their Conscience in choosing their thoughts, words and deeds. This month-long observance is the perfect time to clarify our individual and collective vision by using the Conscience as an inspired and trustworthy guide to making better decisions that can resolve the seemingly unresolvable.

The Talking Canvas Launches A Nationwide ‘LOVE FOR DOODLING’ Contest, To Inspire Creativity In Kids

February 11, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

This contest celebrates the love for doodling and creativity in kids and will provide an opportunity to get their doodles featured on Talking Canvas’s products. They could even stand a chance to win a doodle hamper. 

Schools are reopening in many parts of the country, and parents and kids are left with mixed feelings. Parents are somewhat relieved about getting time on their hands while also being concerned about the safety of their wards. Younger kids are, however, still confined within the 4 walls and parents are continuously looking for ways to keep them engaged and also spend time with them. From DIY crafts to family games to tons of virtual lessons (school or otherwise) have all been welcomed by parents to engage their little ones! Here is a great way to engage your little ones, which helps them celebrate their love for doodling. With valentine’s day around the corner and this being the month of love, I think it’s the perfect activity. The Talking Canvas is a company focussing on enhancing and developing creativity in kids through art. Ever since the lockdown, they have helped parents and kids have some fun with a variety of doodle contests on their social media pages. Doodling is a great activity for kids to relieve stress, express, and bring out their imagination on paper. A parent who is a regular follower of this brand says that the brand’s concept, content, and contests have given inspiration to her boy who loves to doodle.

Everyone can participate in these activities, designed to challenge creative thinking. While the brand focuses on kids’ creative development, it is a lot of fun for adults too! While the contests were earlier restricted to their social media followers, they have recently launched a very creative “IMAGINE” campaign on their website where you will find a variety of challenges. Kids can participate in their spin and doodle, a doodle prompt generator which is as much fun as a slot machine, and many more activities. What is even crazier is that they might use some of the original and unique doodles on their collection of t-shirts and other merchandise which are all ‘designed by kids’!! Isn’t that so cool?

To participate, parents simply have to log into their website and let their wards participate in any of the challenges and share it with their design team. The contest is open from 10th – 15th February. Even if your child’s drawing doesn’t make it into their products as design, it sure is fun for them while also stretching their imagination and creativity skills. These activities can also be played by the entire family just to de-stress and have some fun family time. Taking time to doodle adds another dimension to a simple activity like drawing and promotes creative thinking in an all-new way.

The Talking Canvas has DIY art kits and ‘designed by kids’ merchandise which has been greatly enjoyed and appreciated by a lot of kids. Ever since their launch in 2018, they have engaged and contributed to the creative development of hundreds of kids. Anusha Stephen, Co-Founder, and CEO said, “We want to give kids a platform to create..it could be art or craft. Our doodle contests have evolved over time and we notice the level of improvement in some of our regular participants. You will be amazed at how these little kids think and are able to put it on paper. Doodling is fun and it should be celebrated. It isn’t about the output at all, it’s just the process of creation which teaches them so much”.
