The Arizona State Society, DAR, sponsors a variety of contests for students.
Our chapters can help students with entries at the local community level. Most contests and awards advance from the local chapters to the state level and to the national level. If you have questions about the student contests and awards, please contact our state regent.
American History Essay Contest
The American History Essay Contest provides a unique opportunity for students to demonstrate both their writing skills and their knowledge of our nation’s history. Open to students in grades five through eight in a public, private or parochial school and those who are homeschooled.
Patriots of the American Revolution DAR High School Essay Contest
Focusing on both men and women of the American Revolution, this essay contest encourages students to seek out and research Patriots across all walks of life who sacrificed much to achieve our nation’s independence. It is hoped that students will discover new and interesting Patriots who inspire them. Open to students in grades nine through 12 in public, private or parochial schools and homeschooled.
Constitution Week Poster Contest
DAR and non-DAR members are invited to participate in the Constitution Week Poster Contest. The poster should illustrate/celebrate the spirit or meaning of the U.S. Constitution. The contest is open to individuals of all ages, and there are no age specific categories for judging.
