Attention High School Students: The Peninsula Writing Contest Wants Your Submissions!

Is your child a future Hemmingway, or just simply enjoys writing?

Then get ready for the Peninsula Young Writers 4^th Annual Writing Contest.

If your potential author is enrolled in 9^th – 12^th grade and often plumbs the depths of their creativity by penning heroic adventure tales, well-composed song lyrics or even autobiographical narratives, we encourage them to send in their best work.

As the core sponsor, Westface College Planning is proudly offering a $500 cash prize and a scholarship for a session at Peninsula Young Writers summer workshops.  Three second-place prizes include $75 cash and a $25 gift certificate.

Even better: there are no entry fees and the prizes are doubled from last year!

It isn’t too late!  Submissions are due Feb. 28^th by 5pm, so don’t let your up-and-coming writer miss out!

Winners will receive a phone call and e-mail, along with an invitation to attend an awards ceremony April 9^th from 5:30 – 7pm.

If you have any questions, contact Beth Harrison, Director of Peninsula Young Writers.
