Growing Up Asian contest
Asian Americans for Community Involvement, or AACI, is accepting entries through March 15 for its Growing Up Asian in America art, essay and video contest.
Founded by Lance Lew of NBC Bay Area in 1995, the contest is open to K-12 students living in or attending school in the nine Bay Area counties. Ten students will be selected for a cash award and a chance to appear on NBC Bay Area.
This year’s contest theme is “A Home for You and Me.” Entries should reflect what home means to each student and how youth can help others feel at home.
