| Lives that Make a Difference Contest In its eighth year, A&E Television Network’s Biography of the Year essay contest has been transformed into the Lives that Make a Difference essay contest. A&E is asking students throughout Canada from grades 5-12 to write an original essay about an important person they think has made the greatest impact on Canadian society from January 1, 2007 though October 31, 2007. Essays do not necessarily need to be written about a person of Canadian origin, but they must be 300 words or less and explain whether the selected person had a positive or negative impact on society. Each essay will be evaluated according to persuasiveness, creativity and relevancy. There are two prize pools: grades 5-8 and grades 9-12. A grand prize of $5,000 and a first place prize of $2,500 will be awarded to students in each prize pool. In addition, the teachers who encouraged the winning essays will receive $1000 for use in the classroom and winning schools will receive a TV, DVD player, and DVDs of A&E programming valued at $800 for the school library.
