The Nevada Treasury's Middle School Essay Contest, in partnership with KCEP-FM Power 88.1, is open to all Nevada Students in sixth through eighth grade from November 1 through November 30. In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, students are encouraged to write a 250-word essay about a Native American hero they admire. This hero can be historical, cultural, or from your community. They don't have to be famous, just someone you look up to.

Students can submit their essay, along with a headshot and a short bio, by sending them to KCEPCULTUREESSAYS@GMAIL.COM or by mailing them to:
