    ASA INC EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR "ARTHUR HALVAJIAN MEMORIAL" ARMENIAN
    POETRY PROJECT
    COMPETITION TO DECEMBER 31ST

    WARWICK, RI---The Armenian Students Association, Inc. (ASA Inc.) announced
    that it is extending the deadline to submit entries for the "Arthur
    Halvajian Memorial" Armenian Poetry Competition. The deadline for
    submissions is now December 31, 2012. Competition winners will be announced
    in February 2013.

    The competition is sponsored by the ASA Inc. with the Armenian Poetry
    Project. The deadline was extended to allow more time for individuals to
    submit their entries during the holiday season.

    The Armenian Poetry Project, led by Lola Koundakjian, is a research and
    documentation site of 19th to 21st Century Armenian poets and poetry.
    Whether it is through its website/blog, Facebook, or iTunes presence -
    which features podcasts of recited works - the Project brings together
    writers from all walks of life across the world.

    All residents of the United States and Canada are invited to submit their
    work, in English or Armenian (preferred) for the third annual competition.
    Entries should be e-mailed to [email protected] with the
    subject heading "Halvajian ASA/APP Poetry competition". Individuals may
    only submit one poem for the competition.

    The competition groups submissions into three categories; students (ages
    12-17), college age (ages 18-22), and adult (ages 23 and older). A top
    prize will be awarded for each of the categories in the amounts of US $50
    (students), $100 (college age), and $250 (adult).

    Each poem submitted for the competition must be accompanied by the author's
    full name, age, home address/telephone number, school name, and sponsoring
    teacher's telephone number. Those in the college age category need not
    include a sponsoring teacher. Those in the adult category need not include
    school information.

    standards, provides financial assistance in the form of scholarships to
    deserving Armenian students, develops fellowship among them, cultivates in
    them the spirit of service in the public interest, and acquaints them and
