Students in grade levels K-8 may create an art piece while high school and college students are encouraged to write an essay that capture the theme, "Jesus and Human Rights Today."
The Lake Union Public Affairs and Religious Liberty Department launched its first Student Art and Essay Contest with the intention of engaging students in religious liberty matters within their own communities.
Based on the 2019 Lake Union PARL theme, "Jesus and Politics," students are asked to relate the teachings of Jesus in the book of Matthew, chapters 5-7 (The Sermon on the Mount) to issues of religious liberty, human rights, and biblical justice.
Students in grade levels K-8 may create an art piece while high school and college students are encouraged to write an essay that capture the theme, "Jesus and Human Rights Today." A scholarship award will be given to those selected by the judges which will move them to compete at a conference level and then the Union level. The winners selected at the Union level will receive an additional award and will also be invited to attend a PARL conference at Andrews University in October 2019, where they and their work will be acknowledged.
Submissions are due April 31, 2019.
