We are delighted to share the results of the 10th CJN Student Competition—one of the most cherished traditions of the Centropa Jewish Network. This year, students were invited to submit projects in three categories: video, art, and photography. We were impressed and inspired by the creativity and thoughtfulness reflected in the submissions across all categories.
The winners were announced during a festive online Awards Ceremony, where we had the chance to celebrate each other’s achievements and showcase the remarkable work created by students. We are proud to have received 146 projects from 10 schools across 7 countries.
