                                "I Dream a World" Contest in CT  
                                 
                                This year for the first time, AFSC-CT, the CT Network to Abolish the Death Penalty and the local Amnesty International sponsored an "I Dream a World" art competition for youth ages 14-20. This competition is a national program of the AFSC. 

                                Over two dozen students from around the state contributed paintings, videos, writings, and other creative artwork that express their feelings on non-violence and the death penalty.

                                The painting of the green alien was the Grand Prize winner for the 2 & 3 dimensional art category. In the artist's words "A prisoner transforms into an alien, not only socially, but mentally...the estranged soul adds himself to the numbers of other aliens long gone."

                                The awards ceremony will be Wed., May 3 4:00 at the State Capitol. Congratulations to all of the entrants!
