Writing Contest 2013 Another Success  Our Annual Writing Contest was another smashing success! This year's challenge in the contest was centered upon the iconic photograph of eleven men sitting on a steel beam eating lunch high above Manhattan. The contest entrants were asked to create a personality for one of the men who will introduce himself and the other ten men. The entries will reflect the diversity of the immigrant and native American labor which built America. Click here for full details.
