Well, it is now or never. There are just a few more hours to submit your entry to our Speech Up! Video Contest!

Submissions are due by today, March 31 at midnight eastern. The contest is open to all students in grades 9-12 in public, private, and home schools within the United States.

Students create a short (4-minute or less) video speech addressing this year’s theme: “The UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4.1 states: “By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes.” What are the three most critical changes to the status quo you would propose to help achieve that goal in low-income countries like Mali?”

First prize is $1,000! Applicants should review the official rules and grading rubric for more direction. Learn more or submit your videos here: https://bit.ly/37MyY9M.
