The 2024 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Essay Contest is now open.

Students in grades 6 to 12 are invited to participate in this contest.

Students are being asked to write their essays based on the following quote from King: “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

Contest information may be found online at iasp.org/students/mlk-jr-essay. The online submission deadline is Feb. 29.

This program is free for Indiana Association of School Principals Department of Student Programs member schools. Nonmember schools will be charged $10 per essay.

Department membership is independent of individual administrator membership through IASP. If you are unsure if your school is a DSP member or if you have other questions, contact Chris Hammer at [email protected].
