Hi, folks! I'm keen on participating in some writing contests! Does anyone know of any writing competitions for high school students that are worth joining? And how can I stay updated on these opportunities? Thanks!
Hey there! It's awesome to see that you're interested in writing contests for high school students. There are quite a few out there that you can join.
Some popular writing contests for high school students include the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the YoungArts Competition, and the National Student Writing Competition by YES! Magazine. These contests usually have different categories, such as short stories, poetry, and essays.
To stay updated on these opportunities, you can subscribe to newsletters and follow the social media accounts of educational organizations, literary magazines, and writing communities. Additionally, make sure to check in with your English teachers and school librarians, as they may have information on local or regional writing contests.
Lastly, you can find more opportunities using free resources like CollegeVine's blog, which has compiled a list of 20 summer writing programs for you to consider: https://blog.collegevine.com/high-school-summer-writing-programs.
