The Dashew Center for International Students and Scholars (DCISS) is proud to be hosting The 2010 Harry Kurnitz Creative Writing Awards!
HISTORY
Harry Kurnitz was a playwright and screenwriter who worked in Hollywood in the 1930’s & 40’s. Along with his own passion for writing, he wanted to create opportunities for young writers, especially those whose native language was not English.
In 1965, Kurnitz and his business manager, Charles Goldring, created an endowment at UCLA for these awards that have given visibility and support to the talents of dozens of UCLA students from majors across the campus and countries across the globe. We invite you to be part of this tradition!
