Young Writers of the Future Wanted!

The 2019 Curwood SAGA Writing Contest guidelines and entry forms have been sent to area schools. This year there are some exciting changes to the program. There is a major change in the High School division.  New this year is a $500 scholarship funded by the Cook Family Foundation to the school of the winners’ choice. The scholarship will be awarded to the winner in the 11th or 12th grade. There will also be a monetary prize to the winner in the High school division in grades 9th or 10th. Another change will be the option for the elementary school division to either write a creative story involving nature or read a Curwood story and write a book report.
