The national Council for Economic Education is holding a contest for grades k-12 for the best video on the topic: "What should the next President do to improve the economy?"
Everyone's got an opinion, and the Council for Economic Education wants to hear from your students! This election season, CEE is holding a video contest asking students in kindergarten through 12th grade, via their teachers, for the best economic advice they can give our next President. Teachers should record one student, or a group of students, answering the question "What Should the Next President do to Improve the Economy?"
One winner will be chosen by CEE Facebook fans ("Viewers' Choice") and at least one winner will be chosen by one or more economists selected as judges by CEE ("Economists' Choice"). Prizes include a $500 American Express gift card for each teacher winner, and $25 iTunes gift cards for the student(s) featured in the winning videos.
