The LVNBA would like to invite high school juniors and seniors to participate in its local 2023 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drum Major for Justice Advocacy Competition! The Competition encourages students to express their views on a topic from the perspective of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and focuses on the ability of the students to communicate orally and in writing. The contest is also designed to give young people experience in public speaking and reviewing legal documents as well as provide an opportunity for them to obtain some financial support to continue their education. 

​

The local portion of the contest is a write-in competition and three high school students will be selected to receive scholarships. The first-place winner will have the chance to advance to the Regional Competition and hopefully national portion of the competition. Please find the application materials enclosed. This packet is intended to introduce you to the competition, provide guidance, and facilitate your participation in the Competition. 

​

Applications for the local competition will be submitted to Maliq I. Kendricks, Esq. via email by April 1, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. via lasvegasnba@gmail.com. Student(s) selected to advance to the Regional Competition will be prepared by the LVNBA to participate in the Regional Competition.
