Contest Rules and Expectations
  • "The Drum Major Instinct"
    • The purpose of this contest is to encourage students to reflect upon Dr. King’s life and the impact of his work in the Civil Rights Movement and in present day America.
    • This contest will challenge students to think about how civil rights and diversity affects their lives and how they can continue the work of Dr. King by making a difference in their own communities.
    • All Ohio students in grades 6-12 are invited to enter this contest and may submit one (1) entry per student. Students may choose which type of entry they wish to submit.
    • All contest entries must be accompanied by a clearly written official entry form completed in its entirety and postmarked no later than December 15, 2011.
    • Theme:  The theme for the 2013 contest is "The Drum Major Instinct."  Dr. King often used this phrase "drum major instinct" meaning the instinct to be a leader.
    • In In his sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, on February 4, 1968 he said "if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice, say that I was a drum major for peace, say that I was a drum major for righteousness.  And all of the other shallow things will not matter...I just want to leave a committed life behind."
    • Dr. King's speech encourages us to embrace our positive thoughts by transforming those thoughts into positive action.  He encouraged us to seek greatness, but to do so through service and love. 
    • For the 2013 contest, students are to respond to the following question:  How would you serve as a drum major for peace, justice, and righteousness in your school?  Community?
