McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum Student Expression Contest 2011, Chicago

The McCormick Freedom Project is seeking entries for its annual contest, Seen and Heard: National Student Expression Contest and Exhibit. The contest encourages teens to depict their thoughts on contemporary freedom issues through film, editorial cartoons, Web design and photojournalism.

A panel of academic experts, Freedom Museum staff and actual practitioners will determine the winning entries. The top finalists will have their work displayed in the Clayton Kirkpatrick Gallery of the Freedom Museum. The first-place winner in each category and their teacher/advisor will receive a $500 prize, and, along with the faculty advisor and one parent or guardian, will be awarded an all-expense-paid trip to Chicago to attend the opening of the special exhibit.
