Cambridge students can express their creativity in art, dance, music, film, photography, or writing to reflect this theme. The competition is open to all 9th-12th grade students. A winner will be chosen from each category at each grade level so chances of being selected are very high! Winners will go on to compete against other high school winners for cash prizes. The submission deadline is at the beginning of October. More details to come!
