Washington students in grade 6-12 have until the end of November to take part in a contest sponsored by our Legacy Washington program.

Legacy Washington’s contest asks students to share who they are and who they hope to become.

Contestants can submit entries in different formats, including writings, film projects or two-dimensional art. The contest ends Nov. 30. Go here to sign up and learn about contest rules and other details.

The contest is in connection with Legacy Washington’s “Who are we?” project, which includes a series of online profiles about fascinating, accomplished Washingtonians, and an exhibit in our front lobby that features the profile subjects.

Judges will announce winners in 2017 from grades 6-8 and grades 9-12. Winners will be invited to a ceremony in the Secretary of State’s office where they will be presented with a special certificate and gift card. Winning pieces also will be posted on the Secretary of State’s website, featured in SOS publications and appear alongside the “Who are we?” exhibit.

For more information about the contest, contact Legacy Washington’s Laura Mott at [email protected] or 360-902-4171.

Legacy Washington documents extraordinary stories in our state’s history. This collaborative venture, spearheaded by Secretary of State Kim Wyman, relies on original sources at the Washington State Library, Washington State Library and heritage organizations across the state. Legacy Washington’s work can be found in libraries across the U.S. and in heritage organizations and schools statewide.
