SBM Young Lawyers Section launches Everyday Justice Instagram competition
The State Bar of Michigan Young Lawyers Section has launched a new "Everyday Justice" Instagram photo competition. There is a separate contest for middle school students (in grades six through eight) and high school students (in grades nine through 12).
To enter, middle school students must take a photo that illustrates what people in their community can do to exemplify justice every day, then upload the photo to Instagram by March 14 with the hashtag #SBMjusticeeverydayMS. High school students must do the same but using the hashtag #SBMjusticeeverydayHS.
For both contests, participants can enter as many times as they wish. They must keep photo captions within 140 characters in length. They must also obtain a parent or legal guardian's permission before submitting their entries.
A panel of young lawyers will select four finalists and one winner for each contest. Each finalist will receive a $25 Amazon gift card and a copy of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The winner will receive the same plus a lunch with a legal leader in his or her community.
