PENELOPE'S BOW
A 501( c) 3 Educational Organization
Penelope's Bow, a non-profit educational 501 ( C)
(3), is a sister organization to Voice of the Animal.
Penelope's Bow is dedicated to elevating appreciation
of the connection between humans and animals as
expressed through the literary arts of mythology,
folktale, fairy tale, oral tradition, and popular
culture.
Penelope's Bow creates and facilitates Radio Scriptwriting
Contests through schools, libraries, and community
organizations, inviting children ages 7-14 to write
radio scripts about animals that are special to
them, with emphasis on the animals in mythology,
legend, cultural heritage, and popular culture.
Winning scripts are recorded at a professional sound
studio, and an original musical score is composed
for the script. The programs are broadcast to local
contest affiliates, and for selected contests, nationwide
via the Animal Radio Network.
