Each year, the CCLET presents a nation-wide high school contest to commemorate the work of Bernard Chernos. Student entries address one of the fundamental freedoms questions posed by us each year (often issues the CCLA itself is working on), examining different civil liberties implications, and applying a ‘reasonableness’ analysis. Entries can be submitted either as essays or as ‘video rants’ (in the style of Rick Mercer, one of Canada’s most famous political humorists) for a chance to win cash prizes.
Le concours Chernos est un excellent devoir prêt à l'emploi pour un large éventail de cours de lycée !
Contest finalists are selected and judged by volunteers with scholarly and practical expertise in law, education, civil liberties and human rights from across the country.
Les gagnants reçoivent des certificats et des prix :
- 1st place: $750
- 2nd place: $500
- 3rd place: $250
