This is the last week of the Jewish Daily Bulletin’s Biggest Jewish News of the Week Contest. The current news competition, which has been running in the Bulletin for the last ten weeks will end on Friday. Winners will be announced one week from that time.
It is not too late to enter this interesting, informative, and educational competition. You still have time to share in the final award of $100 that will be distributed among the readers, college and high school students.
To date $800 has been awarded to winners of the past eight contests. Winners of the ninth contest will be announced this Friday.
WINNERS TOMORROW
Because of the unprecedented response of readers, college men and women, and high school students in the eighth contest the announcement of the winners for that week has been postponed until tomorrow. Although the regular publication of the names of winners was to have appeared last Friday, there were so many letters that the judges were literally swamped with the work of reading them and selecting the winners. Watch these columns tomorrow for the announcement of the winners.
The rules of the contest are simple. The letters are judged solely on merit. Full details and information on how to enter this current big news prize-winning contest appears elsewhere in the Bulletin.
THRILLED BY PRIZE
Samuel Adler, winner of a $25 award some weeks ago, told a Bulletin reporter that “it was a great thrill to win.” He also said that it has encouraged him in the efforts towards a literary career.
“The appropriateness of the Bulletin contest,” Mr. Adler went on to say, “is apparent because it spreads and re-pledges the high idealism that is part of the Jewish race. It fosters Jewish expression and awakens Jewish interest in news concerning its own people. The incentive for your contest goes deeper than the mere reward—though I am not belittling the prize I won. In my mind it dedicates the innate unity of character of all the Jews, no matter where they live, in the upbuilding of the combined resources of Judaism.”
This contest has enabled many college men and women to further their education. Twenty-one college students who have won cash ### wards in the first seven weeks of the contest replied to queries saying that part of their prize-money had gone for tuition and books. Many used their awards to take much needed vacations from their school grind. All were prolific in their thanks to the Bulletin for enabling them to share in the prize contribution.
Remember, this is the last week of the contest. Remember, it is not too late for you to win a prize if you have not won before. You can secure the Bulletin at all news-stands. Get your copy regularly.
