Legacy Project

STUDENTS TRAVEL TIME TO LEARN FROM THE PAST
AND SEND A MESSAGE INTO THE FUTURE 



The Legacy Project and annual Listen to a Life Essay Contest help you TRAVEL TIME and change lives.

The 13th annual Listen to a Life Contest runs to March 22, 2013. Travel through time as you interview an older adult about their life experiences – you may be surprised by what you learn. Then, submit a 300-word story to send a message around the world and into the future. All winning essays become part of the Legacy Project's online Legacy Library, recording life wisdom that can make the world and our future a little bit better.

When you really listen to a life, you have an opportunity to discover timeless insights and ideas. They may be big or small, but they're always valuable.

One Grand Prize Timeless Award winner receives a Lenovo ThinkCentre computer – because computers are amazing tools for helping us create, record, and share ideas – and a keepsake timepiece from Expressions of Time.

10 Legacy Award winners also receive a keepsake timepiece from Expressions of Time. And all winners receive a framed award certificate and an autographed copy of Dream, an award-winning bestseller about time, legacies, and dreams across a lifetime.

This year, we'll be featuring selected stories as they come in – even before winners are chosen! – to recognize as many entrants as possible. A story you share can change a life!

  1. I think this is a great idea. You can learn so much from just listening to what they have done and been through. It expands your horizens and makes you grateful for what you have. It also can make you rethink what your purposes are.

  2. So much wisdom and experience, and it can be fascinating to get a first hand account of the things we learn about in History, like World War 2
