Essay Contest Readers
Each year we get hundreds of essays from around the globe. In the fall we open our Annual Essay in Media Contest. From October through December, we compile these essays and get ready to read. Judging takes place starting in January. What are the requirements for this opportunity? You must be a TAP member and have a demonstrated commitment to fighting prejudice and discrimination and to supporting peer education. You also must have the time and the ability to read essays—and to "work well with others" as this is a collaborative effort. We are honored that so many young people share their thoughts, feelings, and creativity with us. We look forward to continuing to share their "teaching tools" with others.
Art Contest Judges
Each year we get student art work from around the globe. In the summer we open our Annual Elementary School Art Contest and collect digital images of the art entries. Judging takes place from October to December. What are the requirements for this opportunity? You must be a TAP member and have a demonstrated commitment to fighting prejudice and discrimination and to supporting peer education. You also must have the time and the ability to look at children's pictures—and to "work well with others" as this is a collaborative effort. You must have an appreciation for visual creativity and messages conveyed through pictures.
