Calling all High School Students grades 9-12! Join us in celebrating 250 years of America's Legacy! The U.S. House of Representatives are sponsoring a speech contest. You are invited to share, "What America Means to Me." There will be one winner chosen from each school district!
The winning speech from each district will be read aloud on the U.S. House floor in January 2026 by the Representative from the student’s own district— giving the student a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have their words heard by Congress and the nation. In addition, each district winner will be invited to present their speech at the Utah State Capitol in January 2026 (exact date to be announced).
