The First Freedom Student Competition is a national essay contest offering high-school students an opportunity to compete for a $3,000, $1,500 and $750 award, as they examine the First Amendment and address topics that delve into the history and current relevance of religious liberty. The 2010/2011 topic asks students to select a minority religion from any time period in U.S. history, research and analyze its history in their local community, state or region, evaluate how this religious group’s local history compares to its place in the broader narrative of U.S. history and First Amendment law, and address where it stands today. The complete topic, guidelines, student flyer and classroom poster can be found atwww.firstfreedom.org (click on the red button under First Freedom Center News).
The competition is open to students in the United States and U.S. territories, and to American schools and American home-schooled students worldwide. We invite 9th - 12th grade students at all levels of academic placement to participate. For questions, contact Sandra Poulsen at 804-643-1786.
