Friends of OPL Writing Contest
For the past 19 years, the Friends of Omaha Public Library have hosted the Virginia Frank Memorial Writing Contest for students in grades 5-8. Eligible students may win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place cash prizes for an original story they have written featuring a character from a book they have read on their own. The winning student's school library will also win a corresponding cash prize. The Friends prefer that participation in this contest is voluntary, rather than assigned.
More information and an online submission form: https://omahalibrary.org/virginia-frank-memorial-writing-contest/.
