Civic Engagement Challenge
Retro Report teamed up with Civics Unplugged to invite students to create essays or videos that model civil discourse while exploring issues and places that people aren’t paying attention to, but need to.
Meet the Video Finalists and Winners
We are excited to introduce the 7 video winners of the Civic Engagement Challenge. These students were among the 240 participants who submitted a 90-second video or a 500-word essay exploring civic issues they care about. The winning entries will each receive $500.
