Net Literacy, a digital literacy nonprofit comprised of local Indiana students, along with State Farm Insurance, announced a national competition in 2010 allowing students to compete for more than one hundred monetary awards for creating videos and interactive games demonstrating the importance of financial literacy. The two organizations came together after Net Literacy received a digital learning grant of $100,000 from State Farm in 2009. Net Literacy aligned the contest with the Indiana Department of Education’s recently established financial literacy standards, which are taught to all 6th through 12th grade students. The deadline for submissions has been extended from June 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011.
