The Cincinnati Arts Association is pleased to announce a new program called Back in Time to Over-the-Rhine. This is an essay contest in which students in grades 6-9 can put their imagination and skills to work by writing an essay on immigration from the perspective of a young person in the 1800s who has come to Cincinnati from Germany.

A $250 prize, provided by the German-American Citizens League of Greater Cincinnati, will be awarded to the winner, who is Jacob Mackie, a 6th grader from Campbell County Middle School in Kentucky
