Five National Medals and prizes of $1,000 each will be given for work in any of the Awards’ categories of art or writing, addressing the [|Gedenk Movement] ’s important message and mission.  [|The Gedenk Movement] and Grammy Award Winning Violinist Miri Ben-Ari invite your participation in a special creative challenge.
 * NEW CREATIVE CHALLENGE FOR 2014: **

** The Gedenk Award for Tolerance **
The [|**Jewish Holocaust**] began with commonplace acts – simple turns of intolerance, prejudice, and bigotry between neighbors – that many of us are used to seeing and ignoring every day. Over time, however, these unchecked actions became something larger, and immensely more destructive, eventually resulting in the systematic murder of 6 million Jews and decimation across Europe. The //** Gedenk Award for Tolerance **//, sponsored by the [|Gedenk Movement], asks us to consider what we can all do to learn from humanity’s mistakes. Through this special award, Gedenk asks students to create original works of art or writing and consider their own role in cultivating tolerance. The work should reflect upon the lessons learned from the Holocaust and other genocides, and attempt to raise awareness of the importance of increasing tolerance to safeguard a peaceful society.

Submitting for the Gedenk Award for Tolerance:
Work may be submitted for any of the Awards’ categories of art or writing, via the Awards’ [|online registration system]. Students will be prompted to provide a brief statement describing how their work pertains to this special creative challenge. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards opens for submissions on September 16. [|//Deadlines for submission vary by region//] //.//
