Students Invited To Submit Hope For The Future Entries

DUNEDIN, FL — Hope for the Future applications are now available to all students enrolled in a school in Dunedin.

The Florida Gulf Coast waters have recently been declared a "Hope Spot" and the city of Dunedin is the Home City.

A Hope Spot is an area that is critical to the health of the oceans and, therefore, the health of the planet.

Students from public, private and charter schools can submit entries as a class, club, individual or schoolwide challenge. Students from the same school level compete against one another. Levels include elementary (kindergarten through fifth grade), middle school (grade six to eight) and high school (grades nine through 12).

The previous deadline of April 30 has been extended due to the coronavirus pandemic. The deadline date is to be announced. Awards will be presented by the end of the school year.

Three $100 awards will be given to students or teams in the city of Dunedin. Schools and teachers that elect to participate will also be publicly recognized and have the chance to win one of three $100 prizes.
