Sheno Prize Celebration

Описание: Please join Vote That Jawn, The Philadelphia Citizen, the Penn Creative Writing Program, and the Kelly Writers House for the inaugural Sheno Prize Celebration! Honoring the legacy of Penn graduate, Philadelphia writer, and Vote That Jawn Youth Leader Erinda Sheno (C’22), the Sheno Prizes will recognize high school and college writers for extraordinary pieces on voting, democracy, immigration, and Philadelphia life.

All are welcome for an evening of celebration and community, featuring guest speakers, music, food, and lots of young writers. We’ll toast Erinda’s legacy and celebrate the next generation of Philadelphia writers.

From early on, the quiet, reserved Erinda Sheno brought an unmistakable voice to her writing: witty, naughty, clear-eyed about human foibles and hopeful, especially when it came to the country and the city that her parents came to from Albania to raise their children. The Sheno Prize encourages young writers in Philadelphia to find and share their own unique writing voices.
