Since 1977, the Lincoln Foundation has underwritten a contest in oratory, art, and essay writing on a Lincoln-related theme.\u00a0
The contest, held each spring, is administered by the School of Arts and Letters.
Listed below are the essay and oratory winners from 1977 through the current year, as well as a sampling of art winners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
