  Memphis in May Education Curriculum Guide
 

Education Competitions

While each of Memphis in May’s educational competitions are judged on differing criteria, every Memphis in May competition encourages a show of creativity and demonstrated knowledge of the honored country.  Competitions are geared to specific age groups and grade levels, with involvement opportunities available for all grades.  Competitions are open to students within the Memphis City or Shelby County schools, private schools, and home schools.  Applications are made available on the Memphis in May website as well as via mass mailings to schools.  Judging committees are comprised of local educators, writers, and artists who kindly volunteer their time to examine entries.  Competition winners are awarded certificates and savings bond prizes at an awards ceremony in the spring.
