Delaware Interfaith Power & Light believes in the power of young voices to inspire change
. Therefore, we are hosting our fourth annual RENEW essay contest for Delaware’s high schoolers. RENEW—Reflective Essays on Nature, Earth and their Wonders—provides a platform for them to reflect on the unique role of youth in climate action, on increasing concerns over environmental injustice, and on their personal sense of connectedness to the natural world.
Details and registration may be found on our website at https://delawareipl.org/dev/renew-2025/. Flyer, attached, and video (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/juPXSYTkl-E) are available for distribution.
Essays of up to 1,500 words may be submitted to RENEW@delawareipl.org from February 24 to March 10. The ten winning essayists will receive a combined $8,000 in scholarship awards. An awards ceremony will be held in April, on or around Earth Day.
