The Bill of Rights Institute is running an essay contest, and YOU are eligible!
The Question: What civic value do you believe is most essential to being an American? Trace the enduring importance of this value throughout the American story by discussing: a Founding document that reflects this value; a figure from American history who embodies this value; and ways you can personally put this value into practice.
The Prizes: 180 prizes will be awarded totaling nearly $200,000. Top prize winners will win $5,000 cash and a trip to Washington, D.C. for an Awards Gala and Weekend!
Submitting an Essay: Our teacher-only submission of high school student essays began on September 2, and ends December 1, 2008, so you’ll need to give your essay (in digital form, please) to Ms. Roy.
