The “Biggest Jewish News of the Week” contest which will net readers of the Jewish Daily Bulletin $100 a week in cash prizes starts with today’s issue.
All readers are eligible to compete. College and high school students are particularly invited to enter the contest.
Do you read the Jewish Daily Bulletin daily? Then you have an excellent chance of being a winner in this new contest which begins in today’s week-end edition and which will continue for an indefinite period.
The Jewish Daily Bulletin prints all the news concerning Jews. At the end of six days can you tell what is the biggest Jewish news of the week? Write a letter of not more than 250 words on what you think is the biggest Jewish news of the week and your reasons why. That is all.
Your letter may net you a good slice of the $100 cash prizes that will be awarded weekly.
There are three units in this new educational competition. College and high school students compete in two divisions while readers of The Bulletin who are not attending high school, college or university, are in the second group. Three prizes are awarded in each of the three groups.
For readers of the Jewish Daily Bulletin who are in the non-student category there will be three cash prizes awarded each week with a first prize of twenty-five dollars. Second and third prizes will be ten dollars and five dollars, respectively.
College students will receive the same amount in cash prizes as the general public. First prize will also be twenty-five dollars with second prize, ten dollars, and another cash award of five dollars for third prize.
MEDALS FOR STUDENTS
High school students will receive gold, silver and bronze medals in addition to the three cash awards. Winner of first place in the high school division of the contest will receive ten dollars and a gold medal. Second prize will be five dollars and a silver medal. Two dollars and a bronze medal will go to the winner of third place.
At the same time students of high schools who win these cash awards place their schools in the running for a Biggest Jewish News of the Week Trophy. A student of a high school who receives his ten dollars and a gold medal for first place will at the same time earn 100 points for his school in this race for the trophy. Second place will score seventy points and third place will net fifty points. Five honorable mentions in the high school division will each receive twenty-five points for their respective schools.
Equal prizes will be awarded in all cases of ties.
