​

Why is everyone so angry? Emotions are on edge in this historic era of political and social extremes. ​Submit a 2- to 4-minute recorded audio essay that considers these questions: ​

• What makes people in your community angry? Why?
• What makes you angry? Why?
• How are you responding to these intense emotions? What actions are you taking, if any?
• How do you see your role as a citizen in the American democracy?​

First Prize is $500, Second Prize is $250, Third Prize is $100, and three Honorable Mention Prizes are $50 each. Delaware Public Media may broadcast the winning essays. Finalists will be announced on the CPC's website (www.cpc.udel.edu) in February 2022. The finalists will be invited to attend a public event held during the spring 2022 semester.​ Winners will be announced at an awards event next spring. We will email contest results to finalists who are unable to attend in person.​​
