The essay and video contests are open to secondary schoolers (with separate divisions for high school and middle school), and undergrads can participate in the college division of the video contest. There are four topics to choose from. Check out the prizes, program updates, and entry details at the links below, then get your students started on their entries!
“The topics are very current, and a great resource for students to develop critical thinking skills as they researchand begin to form an intelligent understanding of the issues our nation faces.”
“I want them [students] to learn to think, and your essay and video contests force them to think individually. They have to actually see all sides of an issue to make a logical argument.”
“Our students are very talented and they have great ideas to share. By entering this contest, they have an opportunity to share their viewpoints and showcase their writing skills.”
