The winning essay from each of the four grades will then be judged on the national level and the winners are announced. Each student participant receives a certificate of participation from the chapter and the chapter winners receive bronze medals and certificates.
One winning essay from all those submitted is sent from the participating chapters for judging on the state level. The state will send one winning essay to be judged on the division level. The winning essay from each division is then judged on the national level and the winner is announced.
