An African Legend 2nd Poetry and Artwork Competition

Deadline: 31 October 2011

When the higher meaning behind the White Lions was brought to the world in Linda Tucker's book, Mystery of the White Lions (2001); artists, poets, visionaries and every day people across the globe were inspired by the importance of these luminous beings. Our 1st competition received thousands of entries which has resulted in a coffee table book full of inspirational treasures. We are now running our 2nd competition and in true White Lion energy are embracing a new group of worthy causes supporting Marine Mammals.

As with the White Lions, the Whales, Dolphins and Seals work through the unconditional love vibration. Swin with one in the wild, and you'll be uplifted and rejuvenated. They are the 'Record Keeps', carrying the history of mother earth and maintaining her leylines. Protected by some nations, yet mercilessly slaughtered by others, these sublime creatures should be celebrated and revered.

Submit your entries or questions to: lionmarinecomp@gmail.com or leopardlioncomp@gmail.com

Competition ends 31st October 2011.
