Scholastic
is pleased to announce our sixth annual Scholastic Writers’ Award. This
Award is a writing competition for those who love to use words
creatively, for those who want to share ideas, and for those who love to
tell stories. It provides a unique opportunity for schools to showcase
their students’ achievements, encourages youths to write, and gives
young writers a chance to realise their talent. (Click image to see full pdf version.)Students aged 10 to 18 are invited to submit an original short story from the title choices listed in the contest form. This writing competition – previously exclusive only to our Scholastic Book Clubs members – has a growing reputation and strong support among students and teachers who have been involved in past years. For the first time, we are opening the competition to all schools in Malaysia and Singapore.
The 2014 Scholastic Writers’ Award offers an Apple iPad 16GB with Wi-Fi for Grand Prize winners (x2), USD200 for First Runners-up (x2), and USD100 for Second Runners-up (x2).
