The Good Men Project
What does it mean to be a good man in the 21st century? And what does it take- to be that good man in the 21st century?
Taken from the National Good Men Project, this is the question facing men of all ages across America. What does manhood mean today?
The book, THE GOOD MEN PROJECT: REAL STORIES FROM THE FRONT LINES OF MODERN MANHOOD, edited by James Houghton, Larry Bean and Tom Matlock, founders of the Good Men Foundation is the catalyst for the Logan County Library essay contest. Contributing author, Ric Federico, whose essay Whatever It Takes was published in the first edition, will lead the discussion on Thursday, March 25th. “What does it mean to be a good man in the 21ST century?” There will be a reception immediately following the discussion to honor our essay contributors and winners.
Prizes include The Good Men Project books, the DVD documentary, and cash prizes. Winning essays from both divisions will be posted on the Good Men Foundation website and blog, and will both be considered for publication in the next book edition of The Good Men Project.
Youth division is for high school juniors and seniors in the Logan County area. Adult division is for ages 18 and up not enrolled in high school. Judges for the essay contest will be: Ric Federico, Mark Griffin, Marius Beard, Gene Zick, Charles Neblett, and Alex Keltner.
