5th Grade Story Contest Reopens to Alameda County Public Schools

March 17, 2013

Kristen Caven Announcements, Contests Leave a comment

This year, as we’ve switched from mailing flyers to schools to emailing schools, we received entries from Contra Costa County schools and local independent schools but NO submissions from Alameda County public schools! To remedy this, we are reopening the contest just to fifth graders in Alameda County public schools with a deadline of April 17. Please urge your local Alameda County public schools to share this information with fifth grade teachers. This contest builds skills and self-esteem for our youngest writers, and they can win money, too!

Congratulations to one of our newest members, Helene Knox, who won Write Angles’s October Writing Contest for her story “Mouse.” She will be awarded her prize at our next general meeting, which is this Sunday, October 21, at 2:00. Come to see her accept her prize.

Of course you’ll want to come to our next meeting anyway because you’ll want to hear CWC author Judith Marshall talk about Publishing Pathways.

Hope to see you there!

Due to circumstances beyond the club’s control, CWC’s brand-new version of the Write On! contest must suspend its debut until further notice. The club apologizes for any inconvenience this causes.  All who have entered the contest will have their entrance fees returned to them as soon as possible.

Subscribers to our website will automatically be notified when the contest is up and running again.

Thank you all for understanding.
