    The first-place winners in Level 1 and Level 2 will each be awarded $1,800. The next five winners in each level will receive an award of $500 each. Entrance prizes of $18.00 will be awarded to the first 50 essays received in each level. Winners, finalists and — when space allows, others who submit a completed essay — who are in 8th grade or above will be invited to join the board of the Kaplun Foundation Youth Board, where participants meet throughout the year to learn about philanthropy and allocate $5,000 of the Foundation’s funds to a nonprofit organization.
