The annual Student Podcast Challenge is for 4th-12th grade with winners in three categories. The national judges will choose winners in three categories: grade four, grades five through eight, and grades nine through 12. To mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, students sent podcasts that explore what the phrase, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” means to you. For this special challenge, our judges listened for stories that look back at historical events, took us to historic places, or that explored what it means to be an American. Stories of innovation, of rights and protest, arts and culture, civic engagement and governance, or personal narratives or beliefs.
