This fall, ELA is offering an array of exciting award opportunities designed to recognize and support the achievements of our outstanding members. Whether you’re a student or Advisor, there’s something for everyone!
ELA fall opportunities for students include the first of our Creative Challenges. Our Poetry Writing and Performance Challenge asks our student members to read a selection of poetry by Benjamin Zephaniah and write their own poem (maximum 200 words) that is suitable for performance and discusses an issue of social justice that the student feels passionate about. Zephaniah was passionate about resolving injustice, issues of racism, and ethical food production. Once written students must record themselves performing their poem: Poetry is not meant only for reading but for listening to!
