Contest for high school students with $2,720 in prizes ~ My Jewish Identity

Dear Brian,

Hasbara Fellowships Canada is excited to announce the launch of our second annual  #MyJewishIdentity New Media Contest! 

In partnership with NCSY, Torah High, and USY, and with the support of over 50 community partners from across the country, this contest will be open exclusively to Canadian high school students. 

To enter, students have to explain why Israel is a vital part of their Jewish identity – whether it's a visual art piece, op-ed, original song, short story, essay, TikTok video, Instagram reel, YouTube video, poem, Instagram carousel, or any form of new media. Submissions will be divided into two categories: written and visual. A winner and runner up will be selected from each category.

The winning submissions will be awarded with two top prizes of $1,000 and two runner-up prizes of $360! We're excited to hear about your personal connection to our indigenous homeland!

See Andrea Glube First Place video for the 2021 #MyJewishIdentity contest, describing her deep and personal connection to Israel here.

Mikayla Daniel won Second Place in the 2021 #MyJewishIdentity contest with this incredible graphic that incorporates elements of her unique connection to Israel:

Am Yisrael Chai,
