Art of Unity Creative Award 2020

in conjunction with

Yahad-in Unum Mid America

Award Winners 2021

 
 

In 2021, the Art of Unity Creative Award received nearly 300 entries from 62 countries and 16 US States, including more than 60 from creators under 21.

In 2020, Yahad-in Unum Mid America initiated this award by granting us funding to support the annual call. The first year, we received 100+ submissions, from 15 countries and 12 US States.

The most important hallmark of Holocaust remembrance and education is the phrase ‘never again.’ Unfortunately, tribal divisions, ethnic cleansing and genocides continue in the 21st Century. We are looking for submissions in any creative media (which can be exhibited online), and which highlight aspects of human unity, and positive cross-pollination between groups, ethnicities, religions and/or nations.
