Hispanic Heritage
Essay Contest

Optimum and TelevisaUnivision invite
middle and high school students to
celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

Write an Essay
(500 words or less)​

This Hispanic Heritage month, we are asking students to think about how they stay connected with their communities. Opportunities to connect culturally with others occur each day, whether through media and entertainment, experiences, or relationships with people in your community.

In 500 words or less, choose a person, group of people, or cultural experience (TV show, movie, music, app, event) that has helped you to connect to Hispanic culture and what that means to you.
