Participation Prizes
Now there are even more ways to win in the Kindest Kansas Citian Contest!
One winner will be drawn for each of the three (3) groups below. Each winner will receive a minimum of a $250 gift card to a major retail store. Follow the Kindest Kansas Citian FaceBook page to watch the prize pots grow!
Student Winner: Each student essay, drawing, and video will be evaluated by a group of community volunteers. These volunteers are charged with the task of selecting the top 100 entries out of the thousands submitted. The criteria used by the community group are listed on the Contest Guidelines page. Each of the top 100 students’ names will be entered into a drawing for the Student Participation Prize! Only one (1) student will win the prize of $250+ to a major retail store. This student will NOT NECESSARILY be selected as one of the top 20 winners who attend the Kindest Kansas Citian Awards Celebration, although the student is certainly welcome to purchase a ticket and attend the event.
Faculty Winner: The names of school faculty (including School Coordinators) who played a part in the submission of AT LEAST 15 student entries into the Kindest Kansas Citian Contest should be listed once below (add sheet if necessary) and submitted along with the Cover Sheet and entries by Friday, February 3rd, 2017. Each of the faculty listed below is eligible for the Faculty Participation Prize of $250+ to a major retail store. One (1) name will be selected as the winner. This winner will NOT be recognized at or awarded a free ticket to the Kindest Kansas Citian Awards Celebration, although he or she is welcome to purchase a ticket and attend the event.
Kindest School Winner: See the Kindest School Guidelines for all entry rules. Everyone is welcome to nominate a school for the Kindest School Award. The Kindest Kansas Citian Committee will select the winning school based on the essay’s description of how the school achieves a kind school culture. The winning submission will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be the Kindest School. The Kindest School is recognized and awarded complimentary tickets to the Kindest Kansas Citian Awards Celebration. The Kindest School will also receive the $250+ gift card to a major retail store (not the individual who nominates the winning school).
