This year, January 27 will mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. America House Chisinau invites youth aged 14+ to submit posters, collages, drawings and other forms of art dedicated to the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.

To participate in the art contest and virtual exhibition, please create a drawing/collage/poster etc. on the theme of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, scan it or take a quality photo of it and send it to the email address americahousemd@gmail.com no later than January 27!

In the email, please write the participant's first and last name, age, school/college, and city/village. In the subject line write "Holocaust Art Contest " and a short description of each submitted design (no more than 100 words/each) in English, Romanian or Russian, explaining the story behind the poster.

The posters will be published as they are received on the America House Chisinau Facebook page as part of a virtual exhibition accessible to the general public.

Three winners will be designated on January 31, and awarded certificates and prizes!
