Lt. Governor honors essay contest winners that capture love of Indiana food and its farmers
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Winners from grades 4-12 were awarded today at the Indiana Statehouse
INDIANAPOLIS (March 7, 2011) As part of the celebration marking Agriculture Appreciation Month here in Indiana, Lt. Governor Becky Skillman honored young Hoosiers at the Statehouse for their winning essays on “Our Food, Our Farmers.”
Sponsored by Indiana’s Family of Farmers and the Indiana Humanities Council, the 2011 Ag Essay Contest asked students to explain how Indiana agriculture plays a positive role in their own lives—and in the lives of those around them.
Students in grades 4-12 shared their personal perspectives on paper and video. Their themes ranged from asking us to “Follow the past our breakfast came from” to “How agriculture has affected our lives.”
“This essay contest was a great way for students to learn more about where their food comes from and the Hoosiers that produce it,” said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of the Indiana Humanities Council. “We are happy to partner with Indiana’s Family of Farmers and the Lieutenant Governor’s office to celebrate our rich agricultural history through the collection of student stories.”
There were two categories of competition: video essay and written essay; and three grade levels: 4-6; 7-9 and 10-12. More than 225 students submitted written essays, and more than 50 submitted video essays.
All winners received a Flip VideoTM Camcorder. The overall champion in each category received an Apple iPad.
Essay contest winners are as follows:
