The City of Montgomery will host the third annual Rosa Parks Birthday Card Contest as part of the commemoration of Mrs. Rosa Parks’ 110th birthday. The contest asks students to create a birthday card for Mrs. Parks with a message they would share with her if she were alive today. The contest is open to students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 31, 2023.
Winners will be selected from three categories: Grades K-6 (traditional), Grades 7-12 (traditional) and digital entries.
Awards include a cash prize of $100, an invitation to the groundbreaking ceremony at the home of Rosa Parks, a ride on the Rosa Parks bus, and a tour of the Rosa Parks Museum. Entries will be displayed throughout the month of February at Montgomery Plaza near the Rosa Parks statue.
Mayor Steven L. Reed will present awards to the winning students at the Montgomery City Council meeting on February 7, 2023, at 5 p.m. at Montgomery City Hall, 103 N. Perry Street.
