Writing contests for kids

See the contest website for detailed entry instructions. Deadline is July 31st.

Open to children aged Your total word count should be between and typed pages. Your stanzas — rhyming or not — could be worth a fair amount of money in these poetry competitions.

Submissions may be adult or YA novels. Because of the paperwork involved, it might make sense to choose the top essays from your class to send in to the national contest. Deadline: Annually in the last quarter of the year.
