Young Author Competition

2009 is the debut year for the Young Author’s Showcase, which is a literary showcase that gives high school students around the world an opportunity to express, through the written word, their impression and interpretation of Sister Cities International’s mission: promoting peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation – one individual, on community at a time.  This year's theme was "Your Path to Peace" and entries were accepted through March 30, 2009.

Awards

Each of the winners will receive a cash prize from our local sister cities committee. The first place winners’ art will be sent to Sister Cities International where it will be judged and have the opportunity to win a $1200 prize and will be displayed in different cities around the country. All other entrants will receive a Certificate of Participation. A press release announcing the winning students' will be made available to area media to highlight their involvement in the Young Artist Competition. The winning entries become the artistic property of the International Relations Committee of Walker and will be displayed by the International Relations Committee.
