As part of October's National Anti-Bullying Month, NYCPS’s Kindness over Bullies citywide campaign, and the Respect for All initiative, we encourage students to participate in the Respect for All essay, poster, and multimedia contest. The annual contest gives students an opportunity to showcase their efforts to prevent bullying and to raise awareness through writing, art, and other multimedia expressions. Three submissions are allowed per school—one essay, one poster, and one multimedia element (e.g., audio, video, and animation)—and all submissions must be sent by November 14. The superintendent , Mr. Gary Beidelman, will select winning submissions to represent our district by November 26.
Additional guidelines, including examples of contest rubrics, are included on the Respect for All InfoHub page. For questions, email RespectForAll@schools.nyc.gov.
