State Senator Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, announced two scholarship contests for high school students who submit an essay or visual art piece which raises awareness of the Armenian Genocide.
California high school students in 9th through 12th grade are invited to participate in an essay contest or a visual arts contest to increase awareness of the Armenian Genocide on its anniversary, according to a statement from Wilk’s office.
Students interested in participating in the contest have until April 9 to submit their work, according to officials.
All winners are expected to be awarded scholarships and a trip to the State Capitol in Sacramento to be acknowledged at the California Armenian Legislative Caucus’ annual Armenian Advocacy Day during a press conference on Monday, April 26, 2021 and receive special recognition from the members of the Armenian Caucus, according to officials.
First place winners of the contest are set to win $1,000, second place winners are set to take home $750 and third place winnings are expected to win $500, according to Wilk.
Winners are expected to be contacted directly and announced to the media by the California Armenian Legislative Caucus on Friday, April 16, 2021, according to officials.
Original artwork will be requested from visual arts applicants if they are selected as a finalist, for possible display in the California State Capitol.
