Big news! Due to helpful input from our Youth Ambassadors, we are extending the submission deadline for our Speech Up! Video Contest to March 31, 2021 at midnight eastern. Our Ambassadors explained that this crazy year means many students are scrambling right now with college applications, and we do not want to add any stress to this year!
This means all U.S. high school students have some extra time to share their thoughts on how to improve access to quality education around the world and get it on video. Need a little motivation? The winning student receives a $1,000 cash prize!
The Speech Up! Video Contest page has all the details, include the contest rules and a lot of great resources for both students and teachers. Use your extra time to dive into the issues and build a really compelling speech…we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
