Beginning today through Nov. 1, entrants can submit 100-word essays on the subject: “How consumer electronics, computer equipment and software awarded through Samsung’s Four Seasons of Hope could benefit your school?” To view all of the contest rules and submit the essay visit: www.fourseasonsofhope.com.
