Each year, young writers boldly tackle themes that run the gamut of human experience: love, war, relationship, sexuality, hate, relocation, isolation, poverty, illness, death, to name a few. Don’t feel limited to these themes, though; write about whatever you like!

This contest is an amazing opportunity for young writers. You will receive feedback on your stories and poems from contest judges – who are local published authors themselves – and you might even win a cash prize!
