In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15, 2024 through October 15, 2024, the Allentown School District and the Allentown School District Foundation are proud to sponsor the Hispanic Heritage Month Arts and Letters contest to recognize and celebrate the rich cultural contributions of our Hispanic communities.
In addition to the Hispanic Heritage Month Arts and Letters, events will be held at Allentown School District schools throughout the celebration.
Artwork, essay, and poem submissions should describe personal or familial experiences with Hispanic Heritage that will highlight cultural traditions and celebrations. Bilingual submissions are encouraged for essays and poems.
Student artwork from one winner will also be chosen as the logo for the 2025 Hispanic Heritage Celebration. All winners will receive a $25.00 gift card.
Submissions should include the student’s first and last name, school, and grade level and all work should be original. Students should email submissions to weissm@allentownsd.org or bring them to the ASD Administration Building, 31 S Penn Street Allentown, PA 18102.
The contest continues through the submission deadline of October 11, 2024. Winners will be notified on October 24, 2024, and officially recognized at the November You Are The Light celebration on November 20, 2024.
