All right folks - here it is - the announcement of the 2009 Teen Writing Competition results. We were waiting to post the winners until they were notified, and now that we've let the lucky/talented writers know, here they are:

FIRST place (OUT OF 75 ENTRIES):

by Jack McShane

Second place:

Third Place:

If you are one of the three people above, e-mail dbarbour@cwmars.org your story so I can post it on the blog!! Thank you to the judges and to all that entered. Important note for next year: FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. Many entries had to be disqualified for not following the rules as explained on the entry form. If you're planning on submitting a story next year, follow the rules or your work will not even get in the hands of the judges!! That being said, we still received a huge amount of qualified entries, and are thoroughly impressed with the talent that young writers of Shrewsbury have!
