We’re honored to announce our 2025 “America Is …” Video Contest winners.

This annual contest invites students across the country to showcase their patriotism and creativity. Students in grades K-12 were encouraged to submit original 30- to 60-second videos that express what America means to them.

The “America Is …” Video Contest celebrates the spirit of the red, white, and blue through the eyes of our youth. It also offers students a chance to win cash prizes and national recognition for their schools.

We’re excited to share the winning videos and hope their creativity inspires your patriotism.
