Essay and Art Contest Winners Announced

By WAY Staff

The Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center has announced the winners of the annual Gallaudet National Essay and Art Contests for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students. Over 200 students throughout the country entered the contests. Through writing and drawing, the students envisioned their futures as they responded to this year’s contest questions: “What will I be doing when I’m 30 years old? How am I preparing for it today?”

All of the art and excerpts from the essays are on display in the Washburn Arts Center located on the campus of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.

News Alert!

The Clerc Center will soon publish a new magazine called Celebrate! The new magazine will showcase the winning essays and art. If you would like to receive a free copy of Celebrate! when it is published, please e-mail us your name and mailing address.
