[Libs-Or] 2022 Ninth Circuit Civics Contest for High School Students

[HANNING Darci C * SLO]

Greetings,

I'm forwarding this along in case it of interest to libraries and your high school patrons:
I am contacting you as possible resource for disseminating information about this year's Ninth Circuit Civics Contest.   The contest is open to high school students in states and territories within the Ninth Circuit's jurisdiction (Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, the United States Territory of Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). District courts within each state and territory will select local contest winners who will then be entered in the circuit-wide contest.  I am the contest coordinator for the District of Oregon.
This year's contest theme is, The First Amendment and the Schoolhouse Gate: Students' Free Speech Rights.  Students can enter the contest by submitting an essay or a video (or one of each).  Essays are to be 500-1,000 words. Videos are to be three to five minutes and can be submitted by individuals or teams of up to three students. The rules are attached to this e-mail, along with resources on the contest theme.  Participants are encouraged to check the Ninth Circuit's contest website periodically for additional resources: https://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/civicscontest/. The deadline for submissions is March 18, 2022.  Prizes will be awarded to local winners who will then have a chance to compete for additional prizes at the circuit level.
Kind regards,
Esther
