With only one day left, the 6th Annual MyLife: Chassidus Applied Contest is pleased to announce its list of distinguished judges for this year’s contest (the list is in formation, with more judges to be confirmed shortly and will be published at ChassidusApplied.com/Judges).
The panel is comprised of some of this generation’s most acclaimed Torah and Chassidic scholars. Additionally, a special panel of Chassidic artists and creative minds were chosen to review the large number of creative submissions. These experts will be tasked with the responsibility of evaluating and selecting the winning submission, awarding up to $10,000 for the essay contest and $1,000 for the creative contest.
The contest has become a powerful incentive for inspiring and empowering people across the globe to apply ideas in Chassidus to contemporary life issues. With just a few days left to submit essays and creative pieces, submissions are streaming in from around the world. The contest guidelines are specifically engineered to give everyone an equal chance of winning and all the grading is done anonymously.
