WRITING Submission Guidelines
Follow the checklist below to ensure a complete entry.
As in years past, Writing entries may include prose, poetry, drama or

Attention teachers: Review and submit only contest ready material. Due to the
ever increasing number of entries, we are asking teachers to screen materials to be
submitted.

- Entries must relate to the contest theme and include content about the
Holocaust (1933-45).
- Each entry must have a title that is relevant to the composition, entered on the entry form
- All copyright-protected sources must be cited on a citation page. This includes
books, magazines, films, photographs, Web sites, and works of art, among others.
LENGTH
- Entries are limited to 1,000 words, excluding cover sheet and cited sources.
FORMAT
- Only one entry per student will be accepted. Students submitting more than one

- Written entries must be typed, double-spaced, in 12-point type, with one-inch
margins. Each page should be numbered.
- Use only standard text fonts, such as Times New Roman, Garamond, Courier, Arial
or Helvetica. Do not use script, italicized or bold-faced type or a decorative font.
- Create a cover page, containing the title of the composition, the name
