THE Pulitzer Center is seeking entries to its letter-writing contest, ‘Local Letters for Global Change.’
The contest allows students to practise global citizenship, civic action and persuasive writing while exploring the underreported issues that matter to them through Pulitzer Center news stories.
To enter, students must write a letter to a local elected representative that explains a global issue they want them to prioritise, shows how it connects to their local community and proposes a solution.
Letters may be written in English and/or Spanish.
Students across the globe in high school, middle school or elementary school can enter a writing contest.
First-place winners will receive US$300 and their letters will be published on the Pulitzer Center’s website.
The deadline for the submission of application is November 15, 2024.
Interested applicants can apply here.
