The "SVCCJ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Contest" is a youth development program to honor and encourage leadership for a multi-cultural society through major diversity role models. The students creatively interpret Dr. King's teachings for their generation.
SVCCJ believes it is important that those lessons and beliefs affect students today, and help them become leaders for diversity for tomorrow.
More than 3,500 students from East Side Union High School District, covering most of San Jose, submit work to a distinguished Panel of Judges. The prize categories are Grand Prize, 1st, 2nd and 3rd for writing, art and multimedia from each school.
300 civic and business leaders, educators and parents celebrate the student winners at an awards reception. The winning entries are displayed in the media and in public venues throughout the year.
