Students Challenged to Make a Difference in the Fight Against Poverty

Comic Relief Inc. today announced the call for entries for the Red Nose Challenge, as part of its Red Nose Day in School program. The Challenge inspires students in grades 3-8 to submit a creative video explaining how they plan to make a difference for children living in poverty. Winning entries will receive $5,000 to implement their plan of action and other prizes.

Red Nose Day in School is one element of the broader Red Nose Day campaign, which launched in the U.S. in 2015 with a mission to end child poverty.

Entries for the Red Nose Challenge are open from now through April 17, 2017. To enter, students must create a one to two-minute video sharing their idea to make a difference for children living in poverty, as well as one statistic or fact on the issue, and why everyone should care. All video entries must be submitted online at www.rednosedayinschool.org/Challenge.
