The One Love Foundation has invited good poets to make applications for the Because I Love You Scholarship Slam. Anyone who will be attending college or university in the U.S. is welcome to apply. Applicants must be maximum 25 years of age. Entries must be received by November. “Everyone deserves to have healthy relationships — whether it’s with a significant other or a friend. Healthy relationships are ones that bring out the best in you. They build you up, not bring you down. But oftentimes, we are not taught about the signs of a healthy relationship vs. an unhealthy relationship. And the words “Because I Love You” can turn from endearing to manipulative (ex. Because I love you…you should bail on your friends / give me all your passwords). So we’re curious to know…” – Power Poetry. The aim of the scholarship is to know what the relationship behaviors the applicants believe to be the cornerstones to a healthy, happy relationship. Whether it is open communication, having trust in your significant other or friend, being able, to be honest with each other or showing respect or compassion. It also asks the question “How has your life been impacted by healthy or unhealthy relationships?” You are required to state in a poem what healthy relationship behaviors are most important to you and what the words #BecauseILoveYou should really mean. The winner will be announced three to five months after the scholarship has ended—typically there are more than 5,000 entries per Scholarship Slam! When a decision has been, the winner will be contacted, the winning entry will be highlighted on their official site, an announcement will be made on Facebook and Twitter, and an email will be sent.
