This contest is hosted by the Utah Association of the Deaf (UAD). The main goal is to have a new Pledge of Allegiance video to use in our board meetings,conferences, etc. We decided to invite only Utah’s deaf children to participate in this contest because they are our future. This will be a good reminder for us to remember who we are advocating for (our future leaders) and improve deaf lives in Utah as we sign the Pledge of Allegiance during our meetings and conferences.
ALSO, there will be a monetary award for first, second and third place winners and this is to help the 3 winners (children) attend deaf camps anywhere in the USA that they want to go to!
Note: We reserve the right to extend the deadline or make some changes at any time or as needed.
