Winners of The Bulletin’s second Biggest Jewish News of the Week contest will be announced this Friday.
Three winners in the non-student group, three in the collegiate division and three high school students will share in the $100 cash prizes awarded weekly to writers of the best 250-word letters on the biggest Jewish news of the week.
The judges of this news competition are having an even more difficult time than last week because of the great increase in mail from all groups. What is really most encouraging to the Contest Editor is the fact that many high school and college students are taking advantage of this interesting, educational and lucrative news contest and striving for a prize in this letter writing competition.
The feature of this Biggest Jewish News of the Week contest that makes it so difficult for the judiciary board is the keen news discrimination of the readers of the Jewish Daily Bulletin. Every letter reveals a deep insight into the news of the day. An understanding of Jewish activities in relation to world affairs is evident in each manuscript that is examined by the judges.
NAME YOUR SCHOOL
One item still needs to be clarified. It is the matter of the entry coupons. Daily in the Jewish Daily Bulletin an entry blank appears. Coupon No. 4 is published today. The first blank was published in the week-end edition. Consecutive coupons one to six appear each day from Sunday to Friday inclusive. As no paper will be published Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, two coupons will appear in Friday’s edition. These blanks must be filled out and must be enclosed with each letter submitted in order to receive consideration from the judges.
High school and college students are asked to write in the names of their institutions in order to classify the letters into the proper group. High school students who win in their division receive $10 and a gold medal for first prize, $5 and a silver medal for second prize and $2 and a bronze medal for third prize.
College men and women are eligible for a first prize of $25, a second cash award of $10 and a third cash emolument of $5 for their best letters.
Readers of the Jewish Daily Bulletin in the non-student division are also eligible for the same amount of prizes as the college students. Twenty-five, ten, and five dollars for first, second, and third prizes, respectively.
Remember, a new contest each week. This week’s deadline is Friday, November 30. The letters on this week’s news must be brought or mailed to the Jewish Daily Bulletin, 221 Centre street, New York City, on or before midnight Monday, December 3.
Winners of the second week contest will be announced on Friday, November 30.
