Constitution Day

Contest Update

Thank you for your interest in the ACLU Constitution Day Freedom Funnies contest. We are discontinuing the contest due to the low level of entries in 2014, and we are drafting a new Constitution Day program for 2015. We made a $1,000 award to the schools that sent in submissions to our 2014 Constitution Day contest as a token of our sincere appreciation for their hard work and support of the program.

Short & Sweet!
