South Carolina’s 22rd Annual Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Logo Contest. Each year, students from schools across the state submit logo/artwork with the theme “Preventing Gun Violence in Our Schools – Know the Signs.” It provides an excellent opportunity to have a conversation with young people about gun violence and encourages important conversations about gun safety and respectful ways to resolve disputes. It recognizes the role young people, through their own decisions, can play in reducing gun violence. Applications can also be found in each grade level's Google Classroom.
Students are invited to enter the 10th Annual Leader in Me Global Student Speech Contest with an entry that informs, persuades, & entertains. $6000.00 in leadership grant money is available to win! Contest closes April 25, 2025. https://www.leaderinme.org/student-speech-contest-2025/
