Dr. Marianne E. Weizmann of Germany has been selected as the winner of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board’s Annual Cover Design Contest. The contest invites all Fulbright alumni and current grantees to submit their original cover designs for the Board’s 2010-2011 Annual Report. This year more than 90 entries were submitted from around the world.

Dr. Weizmann’s drafted design titled J. William Fulbright: Building Bridges between People was inspired by Senator Fulbright’s visionary ideas and drawn to resemble a well-known photograph of him.

“To draw Senator Fulbright spot by spot felt like saying thank you for offering me and all the other scholars such a great opportunity,” says Weizmann.

Dr. Weizmann spent 2003 in the United States under a Fulbright scholarship, earning her LL.M. degree on Criminal Law at the State University at New York in Buffalo. She also travelled often, visiting Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona and Washington State.
