CEF Annual Fund Student Contests

To help celebrate Catholic Schools Week each year, the Catholic Education Foundation sponsors two contests for students. Elementary students are invited to participate in an art Poster Contest and students in our Catholic high schools are invited to participate in an Essay Contest. Entrants for both contests should focus their work on the theme for Catholic Schools Week. Winners will be announced at the archdiocesan Catholic Schools Week Liturgy.

Essay Contest

The Catholic Education Foundation holds an annual Essay Contest for high school students based on the Catholic Schools Week theme.

The contest is open to all students in Catholic high schools throughout the Archdiocese of Louisville. Each school will be responsible for determining one winner and then submitting that piece to the Foundation. A committee of judges at the Catholic Education Foundation will determine the final winning essay. The winner will be announced during the Catholic Schools Week Liturgy.

The winner will receive $500 and his or her essay will be published in the RECORD.
