Our library would like to sponsor an essay contest, but I've never
attempted anything like this before.  The theme would be "The library
of the future."  The intended audience is 4-6 grade, 7-8 grade, and
9-12- with finalists in each grade level.  We'd like to start the
contest over spring break and wrap up over national library week.

I guess my questions for those of you that have tried anything like this are:

1)  what criteria did you use to judge entries?
2)  how did you promote the contest?

Any general advice or tips you have are welcome.

Thanks!
