Winners of the third Biggest Jewish News of the Week Contest will be announced tomorrow. The men and women, boys and girls, who have submitted the best 250-word letters in this current Jewish news competition will share in the $100 that is distributed weekly in prizes.
The three best letters in the non-student group will receive twenty-five dollars, ten dollars and five dollars for first, second and third places, respectively.
The college men and women who have entered this contest and who have been chosen as winners will receive the same amounts in cash awards.
A gold medal, ten dollars and 100 points will be awarded the high school student winning first prize in the scholastic group. Five dollars, a silver medal and seventy points will go to second-place winner and two dollars, a bronze medal and fifty points for third-prize recipient.
The best letters in each division will be published in tomorrow’s Bulletin.
FOURTH CONTEST ENDS TOMORROW
The fourth Biggest Jewish News of the Week Contest for the period December 2 to 7 closes tomorrow. Readers and students who desire to enter this contest have until midnight Monday to submit their manuscripts to the Contest Editor of the Jewish Daily Bulletin, 221 Center street, N. Y. C.
In order to enter the contest for any one week, six coupons of that week must be enclosed with the letter. These entry blanks appear in the Jewish Daily Bulletin and a full set is needed.
By tomorrow $300 in cash prizes will have been awarded to readers and students who have won the first three Biggest Jewish News of the Week Contests.
The Bulletin has not advertised this contest extensively because it is the wish of the editorial board to confine this competition to those readers of the Bulletin who already are cognizant of its policies, ideals and influence. College and high school students were included in this contest in order to better acquaint the younger Jewish element with Jewish life in its relation to world affairs. Returns have been very encouraging.
NEW CONTEST EACH WEEK
A new contest begins each week. With every publication of the week-end edition of the Bulletin the first coupon of the new contest appears. These contests continue for six days and the news period for one week ends each Friday. Readers and students who desire to enter have until midnight of the following Monday in which to prepare and submit their 250-word articles.
The manuscripts are sorted into reader, college and high school classifications. All letters are turned over to the editorial board, which has been designated judge. Letters are judged on merit alone.
CHOOSE ANY TOPIC
An entrant may choose an item which has not received a great deal of space and use it as the Biggest Jewish News of the Week. If his reasons are clear, logical and concise his letter may be judged better than that of an entrant who selects a headline and whose reasons aren’t as logical.
The contests will continue for an indefinite period. Meantime there is a new opportunity for readers and students to avail themselves of a share in the $100 in cash prizes awarded to writers of the best letters each week.
