Essay contest open to Utah youth November 30, 2016, 3:08 pmThe Utah League of Cities and Towns is encouraging Utah's youth to become more aware of their communities through its annual essay contest, "Why I Like My Community." This contest is open to students in fourth and seventh grades. Many teachers have commented that the contest enhances the social studies curriculum for these two grades by giving students an opportunity and encouragement to look at their communities in new ways. Others have used the contest as a concrete way to use the writing process. Cash prizes will be awarded to winning students and their schools. First place winners will receive $100 and the school will receive $1,000; second place, $75 and $750; and third place, $50 and $500. Entries must be submitted to the Utah League of Cities and Towns by March 1, 2017. Entry forms and essay guidelines can be obtained at http://www.ulct.org/ulct-youth-essay-contest/. For more information, call the ULCT 801-328-1601.
