The Power of Children Awards event will be held on November 7, 2014 here at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. It is an outstanding annual evening to celebrate the year’s 4-6 winners as well as the other nominees.
It's an “ Academy Awards”!
-
We host a reception in the museum’s permanent gallery: The Power of Children: Making a Difference, which features the stories of three extraordinary youths: Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges and Ryan White who were faced with dire circumstances yet chose to make the very best of them to affect change in the lives of others. The exhibit will display a leaf with the winners' names and cities for the next year.
-
We move from the reception to an elegant sit down meal with winners, nominees, nominators, families and friends. Last year, almost 200 people attended.
-
We then honor the winners and their nominators with pre-recorded videos. Videographers will be assigned to each winner for a sit down interview that will be recorded prior to the event. These videos will highlight the winner and the story behind the project. These videos will then play in our exhibit and on our website for others to enjoy.
-
You receive their $2,000 grants, from the Kroger Foundation, to increase the breadth and depth of your project.
-
You learn about the three different post-secondary scholarships available to you.
-
We become really inspired by the outstanding projects of these 6-11 grade students and hope that we individually can somehow make the world a better place.
-
You party with past honorees in attendance and take group and individual photographs. The newly inducted class is embraced by the past winners into the Power of Children Award's exclusive circle to meet and network with other youths who are changing the world, just like you.
