2025 Essay Contest
Sponsored by the Florida Commission on the Status of Women, the Florida Women’s History essay contest is open to both boys and girls and serves to celebrate women’s history and to increase awareness of the contributions made by Florida women, past and present. Celebrating women’s history presents the opportunity to honor and recount stories of our ancestors’ talents, sacrifices, and commitments and inspires today’s generations. Learning about our past allows us to build our future.
Innovation is when you come up with a new idea, method, or product that makes something better or solves a problem in a new way. It’s like thinking outside the box. For example, think of the first phone that could take pictures or the idea of streaming music instead of buying CDs. These were innovations because they changed how we do things and made life easier or more fun. Innovation doesn’t always have to be something big—it can also be small changes that improve something we already have. It’s all about creativity and finding ways to make things work better or more efficiently!
