Students Win NRA's Second Amendment Essay Contest
The NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund (NRACRDF) recently announced the winners of its 2005 annual essay contest for students in the United States, celebrating the Second Amendment as an integral part of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
The theme for the essay was "The Second Amendment to the Constitution: Why it is important to our nation." The contest was open to all students enrolled in an elementary, junior high or high school during the 2005-2006 academic year who had not previously received a prize. Essays were judged on originality, scholarship and presentation.
Essays were judged in two categories: Senior (grades 10-12) and Junior (grades nine and below), with separate prizes awarded to the winners in each category. First prizes were $1,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds; second prizes, $600 in Savings Bonds; third prizes, $200 in Savings Bonds; and honorable mention, $100 in Savings Bonds. In the Senior category, first place went to Nicole Seabolt of Baltimore, MD, while Ryan Dunham-Bender of Delta Junction, AK, won first place in the Junior category. A complete list of winners follows.
