My friend told me this morning about this contest. Grand prize in each High School category is $5,000 dollars along with travel and lodging to the Colony’s National Award Ceremony in New York City. High Schoolers are limited to the Fiction category but college students submit in three different categories. Here's the link for more info or if you want to submit.http://www.ncte.org/awards/student/nmwa

Deadline April 30 2012 @ noon CST

oh my god, I'm deffffinitely doing this! [: Thanks for posting!
I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

Here's what I got from the organizers
"Students must be enrolled in schools accredited by the U.S. to participate in the award."

Sorry :(
