Youth Education Contests
The society sponsors several annual Awards & Medals programs to involve students and educators in the history of the American Revolutionary period. These awards encourage civic responsibility and duty, creative and effective teaching practices for the classroom, and a deeper understanding of the complicated issues surrounding the war for American independence. All of our contests begin at one's local chapter and move along toward the state and national levels during each annual competition, wrapping up at the annual congress of the National Society. Cash prizes are awarded at each level of the competitions.
