All middle and high school students who live in Jefferson County are eligible to enter an essay contest sponsored by the Keystone Federated Republican Women (KFRW).

Essays have specific requirements, must be postmarked no later than Mar. 31, 2022, and sent to Keystone Federated Republican Women, P.O. Box 45, Monticello, Fla. 32345.
