Eden Prairie youth are invited to participate in a contest in honor of Black History Month.

Participants in grades K-12 select a quote by a Black American civil rights leader and express what it means to them through art, writing, audio or video.

Students are tasked with presenting what actions they can take individually, and what we can do as a community to remember and carry forward the legacies of those who committed themselves to championing racial equality and social justice.

Contest winners will be recognized at the Feb. 10 City Council meeting, and featured on the City's website and social media platforms. Cash prizes are made possible through the generous support of the Eden Prairie Community Foundation.

Contest entries are accepted Jan. 5–20.
