Finalists will read their essays and be judged on them and on their answers to questions on general civics knowledge.

 

The students will present their essays and respond to questions from our distinguished panel of judges, including Representative Marianne Buttenschon, WKTV Meteorologist Eric Gage, and Civic Engagement Changemaker Aaron Woodman.

Refreshments will be served, and the evening will conclude with the presentation of cash awards to
the winning students.

We are excited to celebrate these young voices and their commitment to understanding the
importance of civic engagement. Please plan to join us in supporting these students and encouraging
the next generation of informed and engaged voters!
