Winners Coming Soon

Due to the overwhelming amount of stories received in the Teen Writing Competition, the judges are still hard at work selecting the winners from the finalists listed below. Unfortunately, individual comments and/or criticism is not available as so many stories (80!) were entered into the competition.

A reminder to all entrants:
  • Stories that did not follow the formatting rules (font, spacing, length) or submit their story with the form attached as the rules state, were not considered for judging.
  • Stories that were received late were not considered for judging.
  • The judges have mentioned how hard it was to narrow the field down to the eight finalists, and how much harder it will be to narrow those down to two. At least two judges stated how pleased they were with many of the submissions!
  • Due to the success of this competition, we hope to offer further writing competitions in the future. If you weren't selected as a finalist, don't despair - more chances to win and show your work in this arena are to come!

The winners will be posted here as soon as I get the word!

Hopefully very very soon!!
