SCHOLASTIC WRITING AWARDS

I'm delighted to have participated again as a judge for the Scholastic Writing Awards. Each year, this national program honors teens in grades 7 - 12 in several categories of writing. Students who receive  awards may be eligible for scholarships (see general information). Congratulations to everyone who entered! It was a pleasure reading your work.

Writing can be a part of your teen's life throughout the year. There are many writing programs available for kids to hone their skills and pursue their passion. A great place to consider is the national organization, Writopia Lab. Locally there are branches in New York City, Brooklyn, Westchester, Rockland County and New Jersey.

By the way, Scholastic also offers awards for young artists. Click on this link for general information about the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards HERE .
