Worldwide Jewish Student Art Competition
Hagshama supports the winners of the global competition of "Connections Israel", and invites young artists to express their visions and dreams of "Jewish Solidarity"
Connections Israel, in conjunction with Hagshama and additional organizations, is proud to announce a worldwide Jewish Student Art Competition. The theme for this competition is: Jewish Solidarity. The competition is open to Jewish students in high school and above. Entries can be in the form of a painting, drawing, photograph, sculpture or poem. All entries must be received by the organizers not later than November 24, 2008 at exhibition@connectionsisrael.com. (for more information, please see below)
All qualifying entries will be judged by a panel of experts headed by Michal Shamir, the Dean of the Fine Arts Department of Sapir College. The top 20 entries will be brought to Israel and exhibited at the Jewish Solidarity Art Exhibition scheduled to open in the city of Sderot in January 2009 -thus showing solidarity with the rocket stricken city- before touring around the country. The aim of the competition is to raise the awareness and sensitivity of Jews around the world to their brothers and sisters in Israel. This forum provides young Jews with the opportunity of creatively expressing their innermost concerns, hopes and dreams as they focus on the concept of Jewish Solidarity. We hope that the reflection, thinking and planning that goes into making these art projects will propel our youth toward building meaningful relationships with other Jews worldwide.
