I seldom paid attention to writing contests for my sixth graders since they often had unusual requirements. But when a young writer gets their act together and writes to submit, something changes in their writing attitude. So, here is a writing contest you might want to think about for your students:
Leonard L. Milberg ’53 Secondary School Poetry Prize
11th grade students
Submit 1-3 poems
Deadline March 30, 2012
