SLWP Writes! Contest Winners 2009
- 05/15/09
The purpose of this contest was to promote and recognize good writing in Southeastern Louisiana. Over 200 submissions were received for this first SLWP Writes! Contest, which took place in Spring 2009. Judging was done by Southeastern Louisiana Writing Project teachers and writers. Determining the winners in each category was difficult due to the large number of strong submissions. Judges looked especially for writing that stood out due to its originality, clarity, language, style, and detail. The contest produced 12 winners, from seven different schools, and 34 honorable mentions.
