As part of the 2022 Month of the Military Child (MOMC) celebration, military
children and youth preschool through twelfth grade had the opportunity to
enter the Young Lives, BIG Stories Contest. Each participant provided an
essay or art work to tell their story on what it means to be a military
child or youth. Prizes are given for the winners of each of the age
categories and one overall winner.
The entries were scored based on the following criteria: content, form,
grammar, presentation of the main idea and creativity. All entries are to
be commended for their participation. After careful review of each of the
entries, we are pleased to announce the winners for the 2022 Young Lives,
