Art & Writing Contests Highlight Jewish Cultural Awareness Week

The University of Wyoming student organization Hillel sponsors a creative writing and art competition to raise awareness during Jewish Cultural Awareness Week March 26-29. Members of the UW Hillel executive committee will judge the competition and award a $50 prize. Entries are due by March 20.

Winning work will be submitted to a special edition of a student publication Aysh ("Fire") that will be published during Jewish Cultural Awareness Week.

The magazine will include student submissions for creative writing, art work, essays, poetry, stories collages and any other creative contributions. The competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students. Work must be previously unpublished materials and related to the theme of Jewish cultural awareness.
