We invite you to participate in the 13th Annual Holocaust Art and Writing Contest, presented by Chapman University and The “1939” Club, one of the largest and most active Holocaust survivor organizations in the United States.  This contest is supported by a grant from the Samueli Foundation and a gift from Yossie and Dana Hollander.  We hope you will involve as many of your students as possible.

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. The first prize recipient in each category, the recipient's parent/guardian, and recipient's teacher are invited to participate in an expense-paid study trip June 24 -28, 2012, to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and other sites in Washington, D.C.  Students must be in attendance at the awards ceremony to be eligible for these prizes.
