Each school is invited to submit the work of three students, a total of three entries, consisting of either prose, poetry, works of art or a combination thereof. These school representatives will be eligible to win the first prize of $500 and the second prize of $250 in each category in the middle and high school competitions.
School representatives in attendance at the awards ceremony will receive certificates and a copy of The Holocaust Chronicle: A History in Words and Pictures, a unique one-volume history of the Holocaust. First and second prize winners will receive their cash prizes at the ceremony. Additional prizes will be awarded to schools and school representatives in attendance at the awards ceremony.
The three student representatives from each school, with their teacher and/or principal (depending on seat availability), are invited to the awards ceremony on Friday, March 7, 2008 at 11 a.m. in Memorial Auditorium at Chapman University, One University Drive, Orange, CA 92866.
