The U.S. Fund for United Nation's Children Fund (UNICEF) launched its national essay contest for students interested in participating in the Junior 8 (J8) summit, a youth event convening this year in Japan and linked to the annual Group of 8 (G8) Summit.
Now in its fourth year, the program allows young people the opportunity to become involved in the topics that concern G8 countries and the broader global community. Eligible participants ranging in age from 13 to 17 years should form teams of four to compete in the contest.
The winning team is given the opportunity to represent the United States at the J8 summit, to take place in July in Hokkaido, Japan. To participate, teams must write a 500 word essay and submit either a written declaration or a multi-media project. The due date is March 1, and the winners will be announced no later than March 31.
