The Maltz Museum is proud to announce the 2024 Stop the Hate® Youth Speak Out and Youth Sing Out Awards finalists.
Firelands is proud to share that 9th grader Zoe Klingshirn has been named a finalist!
This is the second year in a row Firelands has had a finalist. Winners will be named on Wednesday, April 3, at an awards ceremony to be held at the Cleveland Museum of Art. The community is invited to attend this free event. Seating is limited and advanced registration is required. Register at http://www.maltzmuseum.org/sth24.
Over 4,100 students at more than 100 Northeast Ohio schools participated in the Stop the Hate contest and workshops this year, writing individual essays, poetry, or group songs for a chance to win prizes for themselves and their schools. To say the entries are inspirational understates their power. The voices of these young students shine a light on hate and intolerance—yet guide the way to a more accepting and inclusive society.
Through the generosity of Milton and Tamar Maltz, the Maltz Museum’s Stop the Hate contest annually awards $100,000 to Northeast Ohio middle and high school students, teachers, and schools, who stand up to bias and discrimination.
Since the contest started, over 50,000 students in 12 counties across Northeast Ohio have participated, and $1.6 million has been awarded to students and schools.
