Gallaudet University has announced the theme for this year’s Gallaudet National Essay and Art Contests for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students. Students will write or draw a response to the question: “What will I be doing when I’m 30 years old? How am I preparing for it today?” The Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center coordinates the processing of all the entries, and arranges for the contest judging and publication of the essays and artwork. “We hope that in asking students to respond to this question, we encourage them to think about their life goals and how to prepare for them,” said Timothy Worthylake from the Clerc Center, co-coordinator of the contests. “We want them to think about their special talents and interests and how they can prepare for the world of work.” Essay place winners will receive scholarship money for the college or postsecondary training of their choice ($1,000 first place, $500 second place, $300 third place, $100 two honorable mentions). All scholarship awards will be doubled for winners who choose to attend Gallaudet University. The art contest winners will receive $500 for first place, $100 for second place, and $75 for third place. Winning essay and art contest entries will be published in a printed
showcase of work for deaf and hard of hearing students. All art contest
entries will be published in an art gallery on the web. Viewers will
be able to vote for their favorite works of art. The winning works of
art will also be exhibited at Gallaudet. |
