Get your pens, laptops, and notebooks ready—this is your chance to inspire Nevada County and beyond! Nevada County Media is thrilled to announce its inaugural community-wide challenge: “I Have A Dream” Speech Challenge.

This unique challenge invites individuals to craft a speech designed to uplift and motivate the community. Participants can write about any topic close to their hearts—whether it’s unity, resilience, environmental action, or personal growth. The only rule is that speeches must not mention political figures.

“We want to encourage our community to channel their voices into messages of hope and inspiration. This is a chance for individuals to share their vision and connect with others through the power of words.”

The challenge is open to residents of all ages. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or a retiree, this is your opportunity to shine and make your voice heard.

Submission Guidelines:

• Deadline: Submissions received now through March 31, 2025

• Word Limit: 400 words or less

• Submission Email: Send your speech to news@nevadacountytv.org

• Participants will receive confirmation of their submission and details on how their speech will be shared with the community.

Selected speeches will be made available to the public through Nevada County Media’s platforms, allowing the entire community to celebrate the creativity, passion, and unique perspectives of our community.

Like Dr. King, who inspired millions and changed the course of history. Through this challenge, Nevada County Media hopes to spark the same spirit of change and connection, reminding everyone that their words can make a difference.
