The California Writers Club Young Writers Contest

Got something to say? A story to tell? Feelings to express?  Your words may be worth $$$$!  Put your pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard.  Write a poem, short story or personal narrative.  Enter it in The California Writers Club/Mt. Diablo Branch Young Writers Contest!

For 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in Contra Costa County

Prizes for short stories and poems at EACH grade level include $100 First Place, $50 Second Place and $25 Third Place, AND The Betty Tenney Essay Award of $100 for personal narrative for each grade level.

Last year, there were also second and third place winners in the personal narrative category.  There may be again this year - it's up to the judges' discretion.

**PLUS**

Winners, their families and friends will attend a banquet in their honor and have their names in the Contra Costa Times. 

DEADLINE: Entries must be POSTMARKED by April 1, 2013.
