NCFR received 63 entries to this year’s contest, up from 16 last year. Each individual student who submitted a winning entry will receive a one-year NCFR student membership; among a group of students named winner in a category, one of the students will be randomly chosen for a membership. The professor of each winning student also received a one-year NCFR membership.

FLE Month, which occurs each February, exists to increase awareness of the value and importance of family life education as a method to strengthen and support families.

NCFR plans to sponsor this contest again next year; information for 2013 should be posted in time for use during the spring 2013 semester.
