High School Essay Contest

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is seeking submissions for its 2019 essay contest. Students are invited to consider and share their thoughts on the question: “How has the right to freedom of speech established for public school students in the Supreme Court case of Tinker v. Des Moines evolved in the 50 years since it was decided?”

 

The contest is open to all students currently in grades 9-12.  Essays are limited to 1,000 words and must be submitted by April 15, 2019.  Students have the opportunity to win one of three cash prizes: first place, $2,000; second place, $1,500; and third place, $1,000.  Winners will be announced in July, and travel will be provided to the court’s Constitution Day event in September 2019. See additional information and instructions on how to submit an essay.
