On Oct. 30, the Manzanar Committee announced its fourth annual Manzanar Committee Student Awards Program, a creative works program in which K-12 students may submit essays, short stories, poetry, works of art, including drawings, collages, posters, and works involving technology, including animation, podcasts, movies, or videos.
The awards program will recognize students who demonstrate an understanding of his/her guiding principles of social justice in today’s society. Winning entries will be eligible for prizes up to $100, and their works may be presented at the 50th annual Manzanar Pilgrimage on April 27, 2019, on the committee’s website (www.manzanarcommittee.org) and/or blog (https://blog.manzanarcommittee.org).
“The Manzanar Committee Student Awards Program provides students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the guiding principles of social justice of the past and how they relate to our society today,” said Manzanar Committee Co-Chair Jenny Chomori. “With 2019 being the 50th anniversary of community-organized camp pilgrimages, we need to take a look at the past and see what we have learned.
“With immigrants being separated from their families, the exclusion of refugees and the widespread denial of constitutional rights across our nation today, we need to make sure the next generation is capable of carrying on the struggle for democratic rights of all peoples. Our Student Awards Program is a vehicle for students to demonstrate their understanding of human and civil rights and to show how they will be able to help educate others on the current issues facing our communities.”
Categories for submissions include short prose genres, art, and technology. The deadline for entries is March 15, 2019. Winners will be contacted shortly after this date so that they may make plans, if they so choose, to attend the Manzanar Pilgrimage, where they will be presented with their award.
Entry forms and further information, including program rules, can be downloaded at: www.manzanarcommittee.org/The_Manzanar_Committee/studentawards/StudentAwards_2019_App.pdf
