The state Department of Human Services Division of Family Development will hold its annual Teen Media Contest to reinforce the department’s mission to instill an understanding of parental responsibility in teens. The statewide contest is open to all New Jersey middle school and high school students.
This year’s theme is: Depict how your parent(s) help you define “home.” Students’ hand-drawn submissions should illustrate what home means to them. Examples are watching basketball with Mom or cooking chili with Dad.
All entries must be postmarked no later than April 9. Winners will receive U.S. Savings Bonds and certificates of achievement during a springtime awards ceremony.
To register your school or for more information, contact Laura Febbi at 973-286- 8282. Teachers will also be able to register online at www.NJTeenMedia.org.
