WHAT’S THE SAME?
-
The congressional competition is still on DistrictBuilder, drawing 17 districts. You can get started here.
-
The Youth and Higher Education divisions will award regional prizes ($500 for 1st place; $250 for 2nd place; plus honorable mentions). The statewide grand prize winners from each division will be chosen from regional honorees and receive $5,000.
-
The public can choose the People’s Choice champion from statewide finalists.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
-
The Youth and Higher Education regional competitions will be split between two regions instead of three: eastern and western.
-
All entries in the adult division will automatically go to the statewide competition. There will be no regional awards in this division.
-
The adult statewide grand prize will be $2,000. Second prize will be $1,000.
WHAT’S NEW? STATE LEGISLATIVE MAPPING COMPETITION
-
Draw the Lines has partnered with Dave’s Redistricting App so Pennsylvanians can draw state Senate and state House maps on his web-based platform.
-
DTL will award two (2) $1,000 grand prizes and $500 2nd place prizes in the state legislative competition, one each for the State House and State Senate categories.
