Sponsored by the Florida Commission on the Status of Women, the Florida Women’s History contest is open to both boys and girls. We have an art contest for K – 5 grades, an essay contest for grades 6-8, and a video contest for high school students. The contests serve to celebrate women’s history and 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.
