The annual Khayrallah Prize recognizes the best artistic expression of the Lebanese Diaspora.
Whether in visual art, written work, performance or electronic medium, the Khayrallah 
Prize identifies, awards and publicly honors those whose original work captures the experiences of Lebanese immigrants, their relationship to Lebanon and their new homes, and their communities and peregrinations. The winner will receive a monetary prize of $2500, and will be invited to NC State University to receive the prize at a public ceremony with a presentation of their winning contribution.
