✨ Calling All Students (Grades 3–12)! ✨

To celebrate America’s 250th birthday, students across the country are being invited to share their voice — and it could earn them a once-in-a-lifetime field trip to iconic American landmarks like Mount Rushmore, the National Archives, Kennedy Space Center, Yellowstone National Park, and more!

🎨✍️ The Challenge:

Students respond to the prompt:

“What does America mean to you?”

Submissions can be artwork or writing, created individually.

🏆 What’s at stake?

• 125 second-place winners receive $500 cash awards

📚 Who can enter?
