Mayor For the Day!

What would our cities look like if kids were in charge? The League of Minnesota Cities is holding its annual essay contest to find out!

This year’s essay question is:

Cities provide a variety of services and programs that make our lives better, including parks & rec, street maintenance, water and sewer, libraries, police, fire, and more! If you were mayor for a day, what would you do to make one of the services that your city provides even better?

This s open to Minnesota students who are in the fourth, fifth, or sixth grades this school year, entries for the 2025 Mayor for a Day Essay Contest can be emailed, submitted online, or submitted via USPS and postmarked by Dec. 12. Up to four winners will be chosen to receive $100 prizes and will have their essays published in the League’s Minnesota Cities magazine. Winners only will be notified in early January.
