Fremont Peak VFW Post 4801 has selected this year's winners of the Voice of Democracy Audio Essay Competition. The competition is open to all 9-12 grade students. The 2019 theme is: "Why My Vote Matters."
Sublette County results:
1st place award: Trevor D. Moritch, $250 - Pinedale High School
2nd place award: Katelyn C. Hayward $100 - Pinedale High School
Trevor Moritch advanced to the district competition representing Post 4801 in Sublette County.
The local chapter is still waiting to see if Trevor will go on to State after the district judging is completed. This is a 3 to 5 minute audio essay about the said topic. If he advances at the district level and is named 1st place winner in the State of Wyoming he will then move on to National Competition, which is March 2nd-6th in Washington DC, an all-expenses paid trip. He could compete for the top scholarship of 30,000. Fremont Peak VFW Post 4801 extends their congratulations to Trevor and Katelyn for their participation.
Fremont Peak VFW Post 4801 would like to thank Pinedale High School's Rose Robertson for her continued dedication and support for this program. Along with the four judges, thanks is also extended the volunteers for their time to help make the selection.
