2009 Writing Contest

We are going to stray from the norm this year and ask you to be creative. We have chosen four pictures (below) for you to use as a springboard for writing. Choose one of the following picture prompts and express yourself in writing. How does the photo make you feel? Write a poem. Write a fiction story about the subjects of the photos. Research the background of the objects in the photos. Or think of an experience you may have had similar to the one portrayed in the photo. Be creative! We look forward to seeing your work.

Project Read will divide all entries into three categories: fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Each student may submit up to one entry per category (maximum: 3 submissions). Please include your name and the category (fiction, nonfiction, or poetry) on each submission. Prizes will be given for the most outstanding entries in each category. Prizes will be awarded at the Project Read Summer Party on Friday, 5 June 2009. Please submit your entry to the Project Read office by Thursday, 21 May 2009 to be considered for the contest.
