Fair Housing Art Contest Offers C.R. Students $1,000 Scholarships What does home mean to you?
That s the inspiration of a new art contest open in Cedar Rapids that was launched in an effort to offer educational opportunities for all students who are U.S. citizens or non-citizens, homeschooled, virtual learning or in person. The intent is to also promote the ideas that
fair housing is everyone s right to choose housing free from discrimination and
engage students about fair housing by providing them the opportunity to creatively educate the Cedar Rapids community . Home and Belonging: What Home Means To Me encourages students to submit pieces of art for approval that meet that theme, and those can include a poster for grades K-8 or a spoken word or written entry for 9-12.
