"Meaning of Tzedakah" Art Contest

As part of the United Jewish Fund and Council of St. Paul's Tour of Giving benefiting Meals on Wheels (donate here), students in grades K-12 submitted entries for the "Meaning of Tzedakah" art contest this Fall.

Youth were invited to visually express what Tzedakah means to them in a two-dimensional design (contest details here).

Each of the winners and finalists below was selected out of more than 70 entries by a panel of judges for the public to vote on online and at the St. Paul JCC through Nov. 20, 2009.  Each category winner will receive an iPod shuffle (generously donated by FirstTech) and all finalists will receive money for a charity of their choice (donated by the UJFC's Women's Fund).
