Dream.Org's Dream for America
The American Dream Belongs to All of Us
From the first Americans to the newest citizens, from small towns to big cities, from those who built this country with their hands to those who fought for its ideals — we are all part of the American story.
That story has always been unfinished. As we approach the celebration of America's first 250 years of independence, this moment is an invitation to come together to declare what we will build next.
We are asking you to dare to imagine what is possible for the next 250 years by answering the question:
“What’s your dream for America?”
Submit a short video or a written response completing the sentence “My dream for America is…” and you could win up to $1,000!
Video submissions can win $1,000, written submissions can win $500. All submissions must be received by June 30, 2026.
The American Dream is strongest when more people can see themselves inside it. Share your dream for America and let’s shape it together.
Step 1: Share Your Dream and submit a 30-60 second video or a 150-word written response finishing the sentence: “My dream for America is…”
Step 2: Submit Your Response and upload your video or written response here for a chance to win up to $1,000.
