This contest is open to students who reside in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, regardless of the school or home-school that students’ attend. Students in grades K-2 are to create an original poster. Students in grades 3-12 are to submit an original essay. All work that is submitted is to be the student’s own work. AI generated submissions are not being accepted.
