The Verizon YouthTech Contest seeks to honor young people with active involvement in using technology or innovative ideas for its use by preparing an essay in accordance with the program’s criteria, in one or more of the following categories:
    Web Design – the web site should be designed to connect young people to one another, to information, or to resources and opportunities in new and innovative ways.
    Community Service – the project should use technology to make the community a better place to live in and/or help people in need.
    Youth Development – the project should address how young people can use technology as a tool to realize their personal and professional potential.
