I just learned about a contest in conjunction with the release of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The contest is called Guardians of Good and Marvel, along with a host of great sponsors and companies (see below) are looking for young teens who are working to better their communities through their efforts. The winners will even get to attend the Premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy (something that I am hoping to do myself). If you know of a teen in your community who is making a difference and is a true Guardian of Good then please encourage them to apply for this contest. Please take a look below at the overview and then head to the website http://www.marvelguardiansofgood.com for all the official rules, eligibility requirements and more.

No sense planting seed if I’m just going to cover it up in the future.
