This annual writing contest is an opportunity for you to reflect on your life and values and to honor the memory of Arnold Kossoff.
Essays should be 450-650 words long. A $400 scholarship prize is awarded to the best Undergraduate and Graduate essays. Eligible writers must be currently enrolled students. Topics can be broad-ranging but must be focused and purposeful. Students may submit more than one entry. Any style of essay (personal, persuasive, expository, lyric, and so on) is welcome, and we hope contestants will be inspired by the spirit of Mr. Kossoff’s work.
Submission deadline: Wednesday, February 26, 2025
