2024 Eyewitness to History Contest 

We read about history all the time. But chances are someone you know has experienced it. Maybe they have:

• Rallied for change.

• Survived a natural disaster.

• Lived through a war.

DIRECTIONS: To enter, interview someone who experienced a historic event in person. Then send us the interview in Q&A form. It can be written (700 to 900 words) or an audio recording (5 to 7 minutes).

If you win, we’ll publish your interview in Junior Scholastic. You and your teacher will also each get $250! In addition, two runners-up will each get $50. Good luck!
