That also marks the final day for students of all ages to enter the annual "We the Future" competition sponsored by Constituting America. The last few weeks of summer vacation may be a good time to create a contest entry. Competition levels for 2018 include elementary, middle, high school, college/university, graduate/law school. New categories for 2018 include: teacher, short film, and senior adult essay. Past winners are shown here.

(Monday, September 17, 2018) Past entries in Constituting America's annual "We the Future" competition make great supplemental educational resources, highlighting gifts and talents of a diverse group of students: https://vimeo.com/channels/constitutionday Originally Posted by list in an email notice Educational Videos: Students Talking To Students (all under 5-minutes!)
