Americans United Student Contest
AU’s annual contest encourages students to reflect on why religious freedom and the separation of religion and government are important to them and their communities—and what they can do to ensure religious freedom is used as a shield that protects, not a sword to harm others. We accept submissions from high school and undergraduate students in the United States including the fifty states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories.
$1,500
The contest is open to high school students and undergraduate students attending any 2- or 4-year college or university including trade & technical schools. Students must live in the United States including the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. Employees and board members of Americans United, and members of their families, are not eligible to participate.
Participants can submit either an essay or a video, not both. Students are only eligible for one prize.
