Spread Some Holiday Cheer
Young Georgia Authors
Young Georgia Authors is a writing competition to encourage students to develop enthusiasm for and expertise in their writing, to provide a context to celebrate their writing successes, and to recognize student achievement in arts and academics.
Big Creek students can write a short story, poem, essay, personal narrative, research report, or any other original piece of writing. All entries are due to your child’s teacher by Friday, December 18th. If your child is virtual, their writing piece and entry form must be brought to Big Creek’s front office for submission. Any entry that does not adhere to the guidelines will not be sent on to the next round of the competition. Please review the guidelines here.
