Following the success of our poster competitions in 2020, we are repeating them in 2021. We are also announcing a new video competition.
Hate Crime Awareness Week 2021 is on 9th to 16th October. Newark Stop Hate Crime is a group bringing organizations together to show that our community in Newark does not accept hate crime and its devastating effects on its victims, and we will not stand by when it occurs. With the help of community leaders we are planning a series of events to raise awareness of hate crime and how to prevent it and report it. This year our focus is on #SafePlaceForAll
The deadline for poster entries is 5pm on Wednesday 13th October to the foyer of Newark College.
The deadline for the video competition will be in September 2022 and more details will be announced here soon.
