As part of the Black History Project, the Black Student Union (BSU) at Winchester High School is calling on all WHS students to submit original work that highlights specific events, significant figures, or cultural shifts within Black history. To encourage broad participation, the contest accepts a wide array of media, including:
- Visual Arts: 2D and 3D art, posters, and photography.
- Digital & Multimedia: Documentaries, short films, websites, and music.
- Literary Works: Poetry, essays, and research papers.
Cash prizes (awarded via Amazon gift cards) will be presented to the top three winners: $250 for first, $150 for second, and $100 for third place.
Deadline is February 1, 2026, at 8:30 AM. Submissions will be evaluated by a team of volunteer teachers, with winners announced by February 4. This BSU initiative will culminate in a celebration of students’ work at a community showcase on Friday, February 6, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Griffin Museum of Photography.
