Gallaudet National Essay, Art, and ASL Contest
Gallaudet University and the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center invite deaf and hard of hearing students 9-19 years old to participate in the annual Gallaudet National Essay, Art, and ASL Contest. A new theme is selected each year for students to write, draw or paint, or sign about in their entries.
