It’s back! The library is holding its fourth annual Tween & Teen Writing Contest this spring with the theme, “Unearth.”
Whether writers want to explore “unearth” as a literal action (to dig up out of the earth or bring to light after burial) or as a figurative discovery (to find or reveal something that has been hidden, lost, or forgotten) — entrants can get creative in how they craft an original work that relates to the theme. From uncovering prehistoric fossils and ancient relics to exposing long-buried secrets, forgotten memories, or hidden truths, we invite writers to dig deep and show us what lies beneath the surface!
Entries will be accepted between March 1-15. Click here to view the form, instructions and complete rules.
A panel of judges will score each entry based on three main criteria:
~ Creativity/Originality
~ Technique
~ Theme
Winners will be announced at a reception on April 16th at 6pm at the library. Families and friends are encouraged to attend this event, which will include light refreshments and recognition of all contest participants. Click here to register for the reception.
