The annual Sala Kryszek Art & Writing Contest for middle and high school students encourages youth to evaluate history, foster an awareness of the Holocaust, and broaden their minds in the areas of art, history, civics, sociology, and literature. The contest is dedicated to the memory of Sala Kryszek, a Holocaust survivor who came to Portland after the Second World War and lived here until her death in 1986.

The Jakob Kryszek Family Generously funds the program.

By invitation only
