The Huntington Free Library and Reading Room announces that applications for the Bill Twomey Scholastic Award and Kristopher ‘Morgan’ Powell Photographic Award has been extended until Thursday, June 1.
The Huntington Free Library is offering a grant to honor and remember two late local historians, William ‘Bill’ Twomey and Kristopher ‘Morgan’ Powell who both passed away in 2014.
A $250 Bill Twomey Scholastic Award will be granted to a Bronx high school senior who demonstrates with a 1,000-word article the same literary excellence and dedication to Bronx history that Twomey graced his many readers.
A $100 and $50 Kristopher ‘Morgan’ Powell Photographic Award will be awarded to two local high school students exemplifying the Bronx’s beauty through a photographic image.
The application and submissions must be received by the Huntington Free Library by June 1 and is open to all Bronx high school seniors.
