The future mayors of Eden Prairie may currently be playing on playgrounds or doodling in the margins of their notebooks, but the ‘Mayor for a Day’ Essay Contest by the League of Minnesota Cities aims to draw those future leaders out. Fourth through sixth graders are invited to take a stab at civic responsibility, penning essays that address what changes they’d enact if given the keys to the city for 24 hours. The winner’s brainchild won’t only earn them a $100 cash prize, but it will also be spotlighted in Minnesota Cities magazine, according to the

Submissions can be sent online, via US Mail to the League’s office at 145 University Ave. West, St. Paul, MN 55103, or by emailing
