Place Name: Honorable Mention Contestant Name: New Trier High School Entry Title: NT sophomore, climate activist Scarlett Harper steps into political world Entry Credit: Margy Burgoon Judge Comment: Great story. The opening could use a bit more clarity on timeline as the piece mentions multiple ages up front, which is a tad confusing. Very good storytelling. A few more interviews, including with some of the people she affected, would be a worthy addition.
