This year, the competition is open to all high school students, not just juniors and seniors. Students in grades 9–12 in public, private, parochial, charter and home schools in Cuyahoga and surrounding counties are encouraged to submit an essay on the topic “How can teens utilize free speech to inspire change in their communities?” Essays should be no longer than 300 words, and should be submitted at freespeech.submittable.com.
A panel of judges, selected from the City Club membership and the community, will choose the winning essays based on clarity, originality of content, and significance of the ideas expressed.
Judges will rank the top three of 20 winning essays. The top prizes are $1,000, $750 and $500, respectively, and the winners will read their essays at a City Club forum and be recorded for podcast. Teachers of the top winners will each receive $250. The 17 remaining winners will each receive $100. Winners will be notified by May 1.
