For the 2024-2025 competition, we will accept submissions from schools located in Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and West Virginia.
Student work must be submitted via a registered teacher sponsor, who can be a teacher or administrator. Works submitted without a school/teacher sponsorship will not be eligible for awards.
Yes, all educational facilities that serve grades 6 – 12 are eligible to participate in the contest.
Written permission from the copyright holder is required for images and film clips that do not belong to the student or are not in the public domain.
Teachers can register to be a teacher sponsor up until December 20.
We can only accept up to one entry per student for Round 2 judging.
However, since Round 1 judging is to be run as the teacher sponsor sees fit, they may allow students to submit in more than one category for in-school judging, so long as a single student isn't submitted to the Holocaust Center as a Round 1 winner for multiple categories.
Yes, but we ask that you designate a single point-of-contact for your correspondence/work with the Center. There will only be one $50 sponsor prize allotted to each school, disbursed to this point-of-contact, regardless of the number of participating teachers.
Another teacher must sign up to be the teacher sponsor, or we will be unable to consider submissions from your school. It is your responsibility to find a substitute.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any submissions after the deadline, February 13, 2025 at 5:30 pm.
