Congratulations!

You have been nominated by a CYC team member, mentor or a special adult in your life who has seen you grow as a student, give back to your community and has the can-do attitude in life! 

In order to complete the process as one of the potential winners for CYC’s $1,500 Outstanding Student Award, you must submit either a short 2-4 minute video, or 500-750 word essay, that answers the following prompts to help our judges know more about you:

1. State your name and the school you are attending/attended as part of CYC.
2. If you have already graduated, describe how you are currently pursuing enrollment in higher education or training, enlistment in the military, or employment in the workforce.
3. Describe how CYC has made a positive impact on your education, career, or life decisions.
4. Describe why you believe this special person nominated you.

Please note that this is a competitive process and the use of AI could be detrimental to submissions.

Additional you must attach a photo of yourself*  

• Ensure your face is visible and that the photo is appropriate to be shared for media and other marketing materials promoting your nomination or award. 

Once you have created your video or essay (you only need to complete the video or the essay, not both), please use the appropriate form below to submit your materials.
