Sokol High School Literary Awards 2020

Thank you to all the students that entered work!

We will keep you posted on the status of the Awards Ceremony and Reception. As you know, it was originally scheduled for Thursday, May 7. Realistically, COVID-19 precautions and restrictions will likely prohibit us from hosting on that date. Stay tuned …

About the Sokol Awards

Since 1958, the Friends & Foundation of the Rochester Public Library has sponsored a creative writing contest for high school students in grades nine through twelve.

In 1985, Mr. & Mrs. Eli and Mildred Sokol established an endowment, through the Community Foundation, that makes it possible for us to award monetary prizes to the winners and honoraria to the judges. We are pleased to offer a special performance prize in addition to the traditional prose and poetry prizes. Through the Sokols’ foresight and generosity, the Friends & Foundation of RPL will be able to encourage young writers for generations to come.
