Winners Selected in 2010 Student Essay Contest
January 11, 2010
A team of 12 judges, including a family member, survivor, first responder, educators, media and community volunteers, selected winners in the Memorial’s ninth annual Student Essay Contest. This year we received 1,428 entries from 49 states, the District of Columbia and Spain. Winning entries came from students in California, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas and Utah.
Contest winners will be recognized at the Oklahoma House of Representatives in February, and winning essays will be available in the Museum's virtual archives.
The Student Essay Contest is made possible through the generous support of Allegiance Credit Union.
