In Cecil County, the contest is sponsored by the Col. Henry Hollingsworth Chapter and is open to students in public, private or accredited home schools.
Dick Funk, chairman of the Cecil County and Maryland state contests, says the essay competition helps involve young people in the history of the Revolutionary War.
"It's part of their academic education," Funk said. "It's important for them to know where our nation started and what we went through to gain independence. It's part of being a citizen of the United States."
Essays can deal with an event, person, philosophy or ideal associated with the Revolution, the Declaration of Independence or the Framing of the Constitution, but must be written as a term paper. Submissions without a title page and bibliography will not be considered.
Entries will be judged for historical accuracy, clarity of thought, organization, grammar, spelling and documentation.
Funk, a former teacher who has chaired the essay contest in years past, urges students to adhere to the rules to prevent disqualification.
The Sons of the American Revolution is a historical, educational and patriotic nonprofit.
