The Center for Safer Schools is holding a contest for K-12 students in North Carolina public schools in conjunction with the 2025 National Bullying Prevention Month. The contest theme is “Kindness Changes Everything.” Creativity is encouraged, as submissions could include videos, songs, poems, skits, speeches and chants. The contest is divided into three categories: Middle School, High School and Classroom. Four High School winners (two boys and two girls) will receive a Chromebook and a $25 gift card. In the Classroom category, the winning classroom will receive a Chromebook for each student in the class and a pizza party.

The contest rules are as follows:

  • Students must be currently enrolled in a North Carolina public school unit
  • Students cannot be currently suspended or expelled
  • All submissions must include the students’ name, grade, school, county and principal
  • All video submissions must be between 1 and 2 minutes
  • No inappropriate content such as vulgarity, profanity or gang-related affiliation
  • All poems, speeches and songs must be only 1 page (no plagiarizing)
  • Students will be scored based on a rubric
  • Students are scored based on originality and creativity
  • Winners of the contest will be voted upon by the CFSS Contest Committee

The deadline for all submissions is Friday, Oct. 17 at 5 p.m. All entries should be emailed to CFSS@cfssnc.gov.
