                    Father of the Year Essay Contest

The Father of the Year Essay Contest was created by the National Center for
Fathering in 1992 to raise awareness about the importance of fathering. For
the past decade the Essay Contest has helped connect us to over 1,000,000
children, fathers and families across the United States.

The Contest is made possible through the collaborative efforts of local partners
and state agencies committed to inspiring and equipping men to be the
involved fathers, grandfathers, and father figures their children need.
