New Jersey Human Services is honoring 12 New Jersey high school and middle school students for their winning entries in the 2020 New Jersey Child Support Teen Media Contest, which celebrated the importance of support from families and loved ones, according to a press release.
Two Ocean City High School students – Angela Eggie and Daniel Givens – were recognized for their winning entries in the contest.
Eggie was the first place winner in the Written Work category for high schools. Givens was the third place winner in the Written Work category for high schools.
In addition to having work featured in the 2021 Office of Child Support Calendar, students with winning entries will receive gift certificates and congratulatory plaques acknowledging their achievement.
Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the annual display of winning entries usually held at the State House in Trenton has been posted online and can be viewed at www.NJTeenMedia.org.
Students across New Jersey were asked to submit artistic visual or written portrayals celebrating valuable life lessons and unforgettable memories experienced with people closest to them.
Teens enter the annual contest individually or through their school, and winners’ works are featured in Human Services’ Child Support calendar published each year. Winners are chosen based upon their interpretation of the year’s theme.
