Grades 3, 7 and 11 Invited to Participate
“Fair Housing: We are All Part of the Puzzle” is the theme of this year’s annual Fair Housing Month media contest.
Palm Beach County students are urged to create a poster, essay or video that conveys the idea that it is illegal to discriminate in the sale or rental of housing because of race, color, religion, familial status, disability, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status and gender identity or expression. Students may submit only one entry for each category no later than 4 p.m. on December 16.
Third grade students may submit a poster, seventh-graders a poster and/or essay, and high school juniors an essay and/or video/DVD. First place winners at each level will be awarded $100 cash; second place winners receive $50 at each level; and third place winners will be awarded $25 at each level.
Winners will be announced on April 9 with cash prizes awarded April 19 at a reception hosted by the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches. The contest is being sponsored by the Realtors® Association in collaboration with the Palm Beach County Office of Equal Opportunity.
