The Frankfort Community Public Library Teen Center announced that all high school students in Clinton County have been invited to participate in this year’s Raíces Festival essay contest for a chance to win a grand prize of $200.
Two prompts will be available for selection for the contest, including “what contributions has Latin America made to the world,” and “what is a part of the Latin American culture that a person needs to experience to have a better understanding of this part of the world.”
Essays must be submitted in person or online by Aug. 21 at 5 p.m. for consideration in the contest.
The first-place prize will be $200, the second-place prize will be $100 and the third-place prize will be $50. The prizes will be presented to the top three contestants on the evening of Sept. 21.
