The Historical Society of Old Abington (Abington, Rockland, Whitman) is holding its annual historical essay/video/art contest. The contest is open to all, including high school students. Contestants may submit an historical essay, a personal remembrance, an original video, or a work of art.
The first-place winner will be awarded $200 and a year’s (2025-2026) free membership in the HSOA.
Entries must be sent/postmarked by January 31, 2025, and may be mailed to Historical Society of Old Abington, 28 Centre Ave., Abington, MA 02351 or dropped at the Dyer Memorial Library at 28 Centre Ave. in Abington. Entries also may be emailed as a pdf to HSOAEssay@gmail.com
The winner will present their work at a meeting of the HSOA. Several people may work together to submit an entry; however, the award in this case will be split among the authors. Entries will be judged by members of the Historical Society of Old Abington.
