2009 Student Arts & Writing Contest

The biennial Gershanov Family Memorial Student Arts and Writing Contest offers Illinois students in grades 7 through 12 an opportunity to respond to their study of the Holocaust and contemporary genocide through poetry, creative writing, illustration, and other methods of artistic expression.

2009 Leo & Antonia Gershanov Memorial Student Arts and Writing contest examines the theme, "Memory Keepers – Transform the Future."

A museum is an avenue through which we access history.  We then become the vehicle that carries history with us to transform the future.  Students are asked to create a memorial to the Holocaust or other contemporary genocide in the form of a poem, story, drawing or painting, or musical composition.

Please Note: Starting this year, all submissions must be sent electronically.  No mailed submissions will be accepted.  The deadline for submissions is March 2, 2009.
