2005 Awards Week in D.C.
This year close to 1,000 students submitted entries to the National Peace Essay Contestwhile thousands more participated in related writing and other classroom exercises in high schools around the country. Over the years, more than 1,300 state winners have participated in the Washington Awards Week. Many of these "alumni" have gone on to study foreign policy issues in college, or have pursued careers in international affairs. Currently, the Institute's Peace Essay Contest staff is hard at work preparing an exciting program for all the state winners during their week in Washington. Activities scheduled so far include:
Each year the Institute creates this special section on the website for state winners and their teachers, friends, and family to help them get a sense of what their trip to Washington will be like. The website is updated daily during Awards Week, so please check back during the week of June 18-23 to see information and photos of the students during their adventures in Washington.
