Bonus Opportunities Over Intersession

I'll post ALL BONUS Opportunities I know about below. If you know of something and wish to make it public for it to count an an opportunity for all, please let me know!

15Th Annual Chapman University Holocaust Art and Writing Contest

Details:
Theme: Memories Spoken and Heard: Intersecting Perspectives of the Holocaust

This year's Holocaust Art and Writing Contest begins when you listen thoughtfully to a survivor's full-length testimony and "hear" a testimony that "speaks" to you. Your entry will show the intersection between memory spoken and heard from your perspective as a writer, artist or film maker.
