General Rules for Diocesan and National Level Competition
The purpose of the contest is to encourage youth to express their understanding related to the building and advancement of social justice issues. To accomplish this, staff from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and representatives of programs funded through the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) offer brief presentations to educate youth about programs that empower the poor in the community. As a result, youth begin to understand that empowering the poor to work for long-term change is a healthy response to our faith and the values of Catholic social teaching.
Because the contest intends to educate not just about the reality of poverty but also about the work of CCHD and its funded groups, all entrants must have some interaction with a CCHD-funded group as a requirement for entering the 2010 contest. This interaction can take the form of a visit to a group site, listening to a speaker from a group at a school, parish, or other location, or watching a video about a funded group. To arrange for a guest speaker, contact Kathy Shine or Nicole Steinmetz at 414-758-2285 or via e-mail at shinek@archmil.org.
All youth in grades 7-12 attending Catholic parishes and/or Catholic schools, as well as Catholic youth attending public schools, are eligible to compete. Team entries are welcome. (Only one team member needs to meet the eligibility requirement.) Artwork will be entered in two age categories: 7-9th grade and 10-12th grade.
Each entry must be the original work of the student or team of students submitting the artwork. It may not contain copyrighted material or material produced by someone besides the entrant, such as popular songs, magazine cutouts, photographs, music videos, etc., unless written permission has been granted for its use. Entrant must submit a copy of the written permission to use the material with the entry. Use of copyrighted material without permission automatically disqualifies the entry.
