The Columbus Human Rights Commission recently announced that submissions are open for the 2024 J. Irwin Miller Art Contest and the Benjamin M. King Essay Contest. The contests are open to students in grades 5-12.
Students will be divided into three divisions, and one winner will be selected for both contests from each division. Students are welcome to enter one or both contests. Divisions are:
- Division 1: Grades 5-6
- Division 2: Grades 7-8
- Division 3: Grades 9-12
Winners will be selected anonymously by a panel of volunteer judges, and each winner will receive a $100 award, an ward-winning book and tickets to the 2024 Human Rights Commission’s Annual Dinner.
The deadline for submissions is Monday, April 30 at 5 p.m.
The Human Rights Commission is also seeking judges for the contests. Those interesting in volunteering should contact the Human Rights Commission office, 123 Washington St., by Tuesday, April 25.
