Teen Short Story Writing Contest-It's All Write!
by Bertha
The Teen Short Story Contest officially begins today and runs through March 16, 2012.
You’ll have seven weeks to perfect that short story you’ve had this idea for, but just have never finished. Guidelines are easy to follow and when you’re ready, just send your story to allwrite@aadl.org
AADL’s short story writing contest just hit it’s 20 year.
You can read previous winning stories here or check out writing resources that might be helpful.
1st Place Winners receive ($250), 2nd Place ($150) and 3rd Place ($100) in these three categories: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-10, and Grades 11-12
A panel of published authors will judge the stories. The Awards Ceremony, featuring author Caitlin Horrocks, a winner of the 1997 short story contest, will be held Saturday, May 12, 2012, at the Downtown Library.
‘It’s All Write!” is cosponsored by the Friends of the Ann Arbor District Library and AADL.
Good Luck!

WOW THIS LOOKS AMAZING!
Im verry exited about entering a real contest but i was wondering does the story itself have to be finished?
The contest is over for this
The contest is over for this year, all except the Awards Ceremony held on May 12th. We had 350 entries, but it looks like we'll be sponsoring this conest again next year. Publicity goes out the first of the year. There is a list of writing resources and other places to send your work linked from our website. You could have an ending that is not clear cut, leaves something to the imagination, but yes, an ending or a 'finished' story. Good luck with your writing.
