The Young Writers Program July Writing Contest


As many NaNoWriMo participants are midway through their first month of Camp, we thought it would be fun to give our young writers (17 and younger) a chance to get into the noveling spirit of the summer months (or, the winter months for our Southern Hemisphere folks). So, we hereby present to you…



What To Write

Compose a brief story (300-word limit) that starts on a bright, sunny day.

Where you go from there is completely up to you. We’ll be looking for intriguing description, characters, and plot. Be sure you’re able to pack a lot into a short word window!

The Prizes

We will award one Grand Prize Winner, and two Honorable Mention Winners. (One of these will come from each grade level—elementary, middle, and high school.)

The Grand Prize (This is pretty awesome. Be sure you’re ready.)


◦Your story published on the OLL blog
◦A 30-minute consultation with The Book Doctors. (They can help you with planning the next steps for your 2010 NaNoWriMo novel, assess your 2011 idea, or just give some good advice on the publishing industry.)
◦A $50 gift certificate for the Office of Letters and Light store
◦A specially designed contest winner web badge for your website or social media pages

The Honorable Mention Prizes
◦A link to your story on the OLL blog
◦Your choice of a NaNoWriMo t-shirt or poster from the Office of Letters and Light store
◦A specially designed contest honorable mention web badge for your website or social media pages

How to Submit

Just post the text of your story in the comments section of this blog entry, along with an indication of your grade level (elementary, middle, or high school). If you want to post your story elsewhere, provide the complete URL link. The deadline is July 31, 2011.
