Entries must address these themes through photography. Five winners are selected by the California Association of African American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA). The contest is open to all California public high school juniors and seniors.
The F3 Education Awards Foundation was established to support public schools, student achievement and to help celebrate public education’s commitment to keep arts and humanities programs vital in our public schools.
