Local Letters for Global Change: A Pulitzer Center Writing Contest – Nov 15
Posted by Pulitzer Center on October 1, 2024
K-12 students: Make your voice heard this fall by writing a letter to a local elected representative that explains the global issue you want them to prioritize, shows how it connects to your local community, and proposes a solution. Through this contest, students can practice global citizenship, civic action, and persuasive writing, all while exploring the underreported issues that matter to them through Pulitzer Center news stories.
We welcome entries from all current K-12 students across the globe. Letters may be written in English and/or Spanish. Letters should address a topic within one of the Pulitzer Center’s five focus issues:
- Climate and Environment (Includes climate change, pollution, extractive industries, and more)
- Global Health (Includes health inequities, food security, mental health, water and sanitation, and more)
- Human Rights (Includes racial justice, gender equality, migration and refugees, Indigenous rights, and more)
- Information and Artificial Intelligence (Includes technology and society, misinformation, and more)
- Peace and Conflict
Deadline to submit an entry: November 15, 2024
