Finalist Nathan Kamp from the Netherlands triumphed with art depicting a lush assortment of pomegranates and shining golden apples.
First place in the Jewish Youth for Unity: Rosh Hashanah poster contest went to a colorful table filled with fruit featuring a bee buzzing above an apple coated with honey and the phrase, “May your year be sweeter than a honey-dipped apple!”
BBYO announced the three winners with Nathan Kamp from North Holland in the Netherlands coming out on top and earning a $5,000 grant with “Honey-Dipped Hopes.” His work will appear in high schools and institutions across the country.
Second- and third-place winners, respectively, were Gabrielle Levine and Alexandra Sinrich, who also offered vibrant images of plants, apples and pomegranates.
“I hope to convey the beauty of this holiday but also highlight how much the Jewish people have prevailed through a year full of hardship,” Sinrich said.
“I joined this contest because I wanted to share the warmth and joy of Rosh Hashanah in a way that can connect with people from all walks of life,” Kamp said. “My goal was to create something that feels welcoming and uplifting, just like the spirit of the Jewish New Year.”
