The annual Jakob and Sala Kryszek Art & Writing Competition for middle and high school students encourages students to improve their awareness of the Holocaust. For the competition, students are presented with a prompt about a Holocaust theme in order to create a piece of writing or work of art. Educators are encouraged to promote the contest in their classrooms by demonstrating connection to their course curriculum.
Grand prize winners will have the opportunity to select their prize:
- A trip to Washington D.C. to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for themselves and a chaperone.
- A trip to Los Angeles to visit the Holocaust Museum for themselves and a chaperone.
Both trips include airfare, three nights lodging, a meal stipend, and ground transportation stipend.
This competition is open to students attending school in Oregon and SW Washington.
