Submit Your Essay Today
Caps in School presented by KPMG is launching the 2025 Writing Program and submissions are now open until Friday, February 28th. This exciting program is a great opportunity for your students to enhance their writing skills, build confidence, and express their creativity.
The Writing Program invites students ages 14 and under to submit essays of up to 500 words. By participating, students can refine their writing abilities while exploring meaningful topics that inspire reflection and community engagement. Each student may submit only one essay, which must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian. Students can choose from the following prompts:
- The Washington Capitals believe it’s important to give back to the DMV community. How can young people make a positive difference in their own community?
- Caps players understand the importance of perseverance and hard work. Think about your own life. Is there someone in your life that motivates you to work hard and never give up?
One winner will be selected from grades 1-5 and one winner will be chosen from grades 6-8. They will receive an exclusive Capitals swag bag and two tickets to a 2025-26 regular season home game—a memorable reward for their hard work and creativity! We encourage you to share this opportunity with your students and their families. For more information about the program and submission guidelines, visit www.washcaps.com/capsinschool.
