During the month of October, the United States Courts throughout the Seventh and Eighth Circuits hosted the Fifth Annual Bill of Rights Day Contest. School age children in grades 5-12 in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin were invited to submit an essay, poem, video, photography, song, or piece of art in celebration of Bill of Rights Day.
Nearly 300 entries were received and 39 were selected as finalists. The two North Dakota students selected as finalists in their respective categories were: Aubrie Myrmoe, Grades 5-6 Essay; and Shay Were, Grades 7-8 Art.
