Students in grades 3-12 from across Acadiana are invited to participate in a writing contest sponsored by the Acadiana Writing Project and the Festival of Words. Students can enter original writing pieces into three writing categories including poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction. Writings should be submitted through a supervising teacher or school facilitator online by sending them to kayla_menard@saintmartinschools.org. Parental permission must be granted by filling out the student writing contest entry form. Awards will be given for first, second and third place winners. Contest winners will also receive an anthology publication of winning entries.
Final Deadline for online submissions is Oct. 21.
