Imagining the Holocaust Writing Contest
The Department of English at Jacksonville State University has “reimagined” the Imagining the Holocaust Writing Contest for middle and high school students to include new categories in commemorative poetry, creative nonfiction, and multimodal composition. The top three middle and high school students in each category will win cash prizes: 1st - $150, 2nd - $100, 3rd - $50. Teachers of the 1st place winners will receive a $150 classroom grant. The contest deadline is February 20. Additionally, the program has expanded to include classroom grants for middle and high school teachers up to $600 and separate teaching circle grants of $1500 each to one middle and one high school teaching circle. The deadline for grant proposals is February 1. Teachers must use their funds for tangible materials to assist them in teaching the Holocaust and its literature in the classroom. Please see the Imagining the Holocaust website for more information.
