Deadline of 13 April: "If I were Mayor" Essay Contest for 7th Graders

The City of Centennial encourages 7th grade students to enter the “If I Were Mayor...” essay contest sponsored by the Colorado Municipal League (CML) and COLOTRUST.

Four winners will be selected from across Colorado and will receive a certificate of achievement, a $500 savings bond and will be invited to attend the 2010 CML Conference in June to receive their award and present their essays during the Elected Officials lunch.

“This is a great way to hear from Centennial’s youth on what they feel the role of their Mayor should be. As the new Mayor of Centennial, I am excited to hear what feedback and ideas they have for me. Last year more than 600 essays were received from around the state so this is indeed a successful contest, says Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon.” Many youth are unaware of the valuable services that their cities or towns provide such as bike paths, police officers, street lights and cross walks. Participants should consider if they were mayor, how would they explain the importance of municipal government to kids in their community?

The contest is open to all Colorado students enrolled in the 7th grade during the 2009-10 school year. Students who are home schooled are also eligible. Essays should be a minimum of 400 words and a maximum of 600 words. Only one essay may be submitted per student. Essays will be judged by a committee made up of CML and COLOTRUST officials in the following areas: Essay relation to contest topic Creativity Displayed knowledge about the role of a mayor Legibility and proper use of grammar Students must include their first and last names, school and teacher’s name at the top of their essays. The official entry form must also be submitted with all entries. Essays must be received by Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Winners will be notified during the middle of May 2010. Teachers should submit all of their students’ essays with the entry form. (Only one entry form is needed to submit all essays.) The official entry form can be found on the CML website at www.cml.org.
