Lincoln‑Sudbury essay contest launched; Sudbury to share $600 prize pool
Summary
The committee reported that Lincoln‑Sudbury Regional High School will run a 2‑50 anniversary essay contest launching April 7 with a May 2 deadline; Sudbury will provide $300 of a $600 prize pool to be split among winners.
The Sudbury 2 50 Committee heard that the Lincoln‑Sudbury (LS) 250 essay contest will launch April 7 and close May 2, the committee was told on March 26.
Tim (committee member and Lincoln‑Sudbury liaison) said he announced the LS 250 essay contest to the Lincoln‑Sudbury School Committee and will distribute a flyer to history teachers. The contest theme asks students how living near historic sites has influenced their perspective on American history and the principles in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, how those promises are fulfilled or unfulfilled today, and what local actions can help realize the founding ideals.
Contest rules supplied to the committee include a 1,000‑word maximum, standard English, a prohibition on AI authorship and a requirement to cite sources. Submissions will be accepted via an LS‑provided contact (reported on the call as an LS email address) with a May 2 deadline. The committee said the prize pool totals $600 and will be shared equally by Lincoln and Sudbury; Sudbury’s share is $300.
Tim said he will distribute digital and hard copies of the flyer to history teachers and asked for volunteers to help judge essays. Committee members said they will circulate the contest through their networks and that the committee will publicize the contest on its website and channels.
No formal committee vote was recorded; the contest and Sudbury’s financial contribution were presented and discussed as an item in the member reports.
