鈥淭he Bill of Rights was ratified over 230 years ago and still stands as a beacon for our most fundamental rights as Americans,鈥� said Herzog 麻豆视频 Chairman Todd Graves. 鈥淚t鈥檚 crucial that all young students understand the significance of this founding document.鈥�
Essay contestants must answer the following prompt in three pages or less: What made the Bill of Rights so revolutionary and unique when it was ratified? How has the Bill of Rights shaped our country?
A winner will be selected from the middle school category (6th-8th grade) and the high school category (9th-12th grade). Each winner and their school will receive a $250 award from the Herzog 麻豆视频. A select number of runners-up will also be recognized and receive an award of $100.
鈥淭oo many young people are losing sight of the civic values that characterize American democracy,鈥� said Herzog 麻豆视频 President Darrell Jones. 鈥淢any families and schools even shy away from celebrating our country and founding documents. This is unacceptable. At the Herzog 麻豆视频, we want to reward the students and schools that not only recognize our fundamental American beliefs but celebrate them as well.鈥�
