SAR Youth Video Contest: Show Your Knowledge of the American Revolution!
The SAR Youth Video Contest is an exciting opportunity to showcase what you know about the American Revolution in a creative video format. Whether it’s a person, battle, document, or event, you can bring the history of the American struggle for independence to life through video. The key is to be creative—your project could be filmed or animated, take the form of a news broadcast, a movie trailer, a music video, or even a rap battle. Let your imagination run wild and show the judges your unique approach!
