The North Central Regional Planning Commission sponsors the Rural Voices Youth Contest each year to engage high school seniors of North Central Kansas in thoughtful reflection on rural Kansas and to promote a discussion among citizens based on their insights. We are proud to have awarded nearly $30,000 to high school seniors from the region since the contest began in 2006.
2023-2024 Theme: Rural Kansas Success Through Innovation
The NCRPC invites high school seniors in North Central Kansas (NCRPC 12-county primary service area) to prepare an original essay or video based on this year’s theme of Rural Kansas Success Through Innovation.
Entries should address the following: Rural Kansas residents, community leaders and business owners have a history of being innovative. Examples of innovation and successful entrepreneurs are all around us. Discuss how a great idea was turned into a creative solution to a community problem or a unique tradition that serves a purpose in your town or a successful business in your community. What more can be done to encourage and support innovation in North Central Kansas?
Students submitting the top two entries will each receive a one-time cash award of $1,000 and be recognized with the John R. Cyr Rural Voices Award. The award is named in honor of Cyr who served for 22 years as NCRPC Executive Director. Winning entries will also be published on the North Central Regional Planning Commission website.
