To encourage young students to learn more about their City's past, the Mesa Historic Preservation Board is sponsoring a Historical Essay and Visual Arts Contest. The historical essay competition is open to all fourth, fifth and sixth-grade students regardless of whether they attend public, private, charter or home school. There is also an essay and visual arts contest for all seventh through twelfth graders living in Mesa. Both contests allow students to learn more about Mesa's history while practicing their writing or visual skills as they create a story around a historic event in the City. The contest is open until March 10.
For the writing contest, entries will be a historical essay or fictional story on one of three topics:
oSports in Mesa/Athletes in Mesa before 1970
oDescription of a historic home in Mesa contrasted with a contemporary home
oFamous women in Mesa before 1970
For the visual arts contest, students can practice their skills in video production, sketching, painting or building a 3D model on one of three topics:
oHistoric building in Mesa
oHistoric sign in Mesa
oHistory Maker: Imagine you are an influencer describing Mesa's history
