Magnes Museum and the children of Anna Davidson Rosenberg, a community volunteer who came to California at the turn of the 20th century, the Anna Davidson Rosenberg Award annually awards cash prizes for poems on the Jewish experience. A total of $3,000 in prize money will be awarded to winners in 1st place, 2nd place, and honorable mention categories. Winners will be announced the first week of March 2009 on our website.
