Deadline : February 19, 2010

Every year the United Jewish Community of the Virginia Peninsula sponsors an essay contest. The Ninth Annual Holocaust writing competition for students (2010) is called “Hiding in the Spotlight : A Musical Prodigy’s Story of Survival 1941-1946.”

This contest is open to all middle and high school students in Gloucester, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg/James city County, York County, and other surrounding areas. Student can choose either a creative writing prompt or an expository writing prompt. Entries may be up to three pages in length and must be typed and double spaced.

Each entry must include a cover sheet. Two copies of each entry must be submitted. Entries must be by the United Jewish Community by 4 p.m. on February 19, 2010.

Judging will be based on the work’s originality, cohesiveness, and insightfulness. Grammar and spelling as well as following guidelines will be part of the evaluation.

One of the primary goals of the contest is “to encourage young people to apply the lessons of history to the moral decisions they made today.” Middle school prizes are $150 for first place, $100 for second, $75 for third.

If you would like to submit an entry, see your English teacher for additional information. If your English teacher is not participating, you may get the information from and submit your essay for the competition to Ms. Farabaugh.
