About the Contest

Red The One-Eyed Horse Contest

Welcome! Red The One-Eyed Horse is a children’s book I wrote based on my experiences with my horse, Red. Despite his physical differences, Red has brought joy to me and those around him and has taught me valuable lessons on diversity, equity, inclusion, and kindness. He has shown me how to succeed and overcome obstacles, and together we have won the Half-Arabian Native Costume Youth National Championship!

Red, The One-Eyed Horse Contest was established to inspire other children to consider inclusion, diversity, equity and kindness in their life, and the positive contributions they wish to make to the community so that in the future, they may continue that path, pay forward the lessons that Red has taught me, and make our society a better place for all.

Depending on your age, you will submit either an original essay or artwork. Please note that your submitted essay or artwork may be uploaded onto the RedtheOne-EyedHorse.org website at the sole discretion of the organizer under a suitable name of your choosing (example: John A). If you have reservations about this, please do not enter the contest.

The Contest is open to anyone and everyone under 18 years old as of August 31st, 2022, regardless of race, gender, or age. One person is allowed to enter only into one category based on age. We particularly encourage those students with a disability to apply. 

The top THREE winners in each of the essay or the art contest will each receive an US$100.00 visa/master e-gift card sent to their registered email, plus an autographed book if you choose to provide your mailing address. The gift cards will only be denominated in US Dollar. If either the card or the book is lost, it will not be replaced. 

The Prize will be awarded based on the strength of the essay or artwork that exemplifies diversity, equity and inclusion, and kindness and is at the sole discretion of the Contest organizers.
