Applications are open for the Pulitzer Center Local Letters for Global Change Contest 2024. K-12 students: Make your voice heard this fall by writing a letter to a local elected representative that explains the global issue you want them to prioritize, shows how it connects to your local community, and proposes a solution.

Through this contest, students can practice global citizenship, civic action, and persuasive writing, all while exploring the underreported issues that matter to them through Pulitzer Center news stories. The Pulitzer Center wants to read and share your letters: tell them, and the world, what’s most important to you.

Prizes

They will select one first place winner and up to four finalists for each issue category. First place winners will receive:

$300 to support global community engagement in your classroom (prize distributed to your class teacher).
Publication of your letter, photo, and bio on the Pulitzer Center website.

Finalists will receive:

$75 to support global community engagement in your classroom (prize distributed to your class teacher).
Publication of your letter, photo, and bio on the Pulitzer Center website.

All entrants will be invited to participate in a Pulitzer Center town hall event, held virtually in November, to share their solutions with other students from around the world.

Eligibility

They welcome entries from all current K-12 students across the globe. Letters may be written in English and/or Spanish. Letters should address a topic within one of the Pulitzer Center’s five focus issues:

Climate and Environment (Includes climate change, pollution, extractive industries, and more)
Global Health (Includes health inequities, food security, mental health, water and sanitation, and more)
Human Rights (Includes racial justice, gender equality, migration and refugees, Indigenous rights, and more)
Information and Artificial Intelligence (Includes technology and society, misinformation, and more)
Peace and Conflict
