Want to Win a Prettie Girl Lena Doll? Contest News





First, I am NOT running this contest. I am merely reporting its existence to those of you who may not receive messages from One World Doll Project. One World Doll Project Prettie Girls! Design Team holds a monthly essay-writing contest called The Prettie Dreamers Essay Contest. You can read the official rules - it seems to be open to adults as well as minors although the website photos show minors holding Prettie Girl dolls Lena and Dahlia. (That said, I am NOT entering the contest: it feels like something intended for young people. Also, Lena is the current prize doll. I am not crazy about her bangs. I'm holding out for Kimani, Dahlia, and Alexie.) You have 17 more days from today to submit your essay entry to the One World Doll Project. Or you can pass this information on to the young collectors in your life. Good luck!

    Agreed. I think it's best for the young kids. Thanks for letting us know about it.

    Hi Marta and Muff! I like the idea of the writing contest - and I do mean for the younger collectors ;-)

    While I think that the majority of my readers are over 21, I know from your comments that some readers come in contact with young people. Those readers can forward the information ... if they choose ;-)

    Yep. I would hate to see a little girl lose to a more sophisticated writer.

    Hi The grandmommy! Yes, I agree. I think, though, that the company probably gears the contests to younger writers. My guess is that the open-ended age is to allow older teens to feel okay submitting entries ;-)
