Student Contest:

Create an original project in visual arts, poetry, music, or other media of artistic expression that commemorates some aspect of a genocide which has occurred in the 20th or 21st centuries. Examples include the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Cambodian Genocide, the Bosnian Genocide, the Rwandan Genocide, the Genocide in Darfur, and many others. Please see World Without Genocide (www.worldwithoutgenocide.org ) for a complete list.

Deadline for submission of projects: April 30, 2020 . Projects, with the simple information sheet, need to be submitted by email to jscallero@hhrecny.org

All projects will be evaluated by the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center’s Co-Directors of Education, Steve Goldberg and Julie Scallero.

We will select 3 winners (one for grades 7 and 8, one for grades 9 and 10, one for grades 11 and 12) who will receive a certificate and will have their projects announced on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Additionally, we will make a donation, on the winners’ behalf, to the AFYA Foundation https:afyafoundation.org whose mission is to improve global health by rescuing surplus medical supplies and delivering them to underserved health systems around the world. Not only is this organization working to provide medical supplies during the COVID-19 crisis, they were a past keynote presenter at our Human Rights Institute for High School Student Leaders. We are very familiar with their work serving a global community as well as currently supporting our local ones.

We look forward to viewing your submissions and hope you stay well during these uncertain times.
