The third annual South Middle School Short Story contest is currently being held. All students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades are eligible to enter.
Topics can be about anything: slice of life, fantasy, science fiction, etc.
Mr. Randy Turner is the organizer of the contest, which is under the direction of South Middle School's Writing Improvement Committee, which consists of Mrs. Angela Mense, Mrs. Gala Moss, and Mr. Turner. The contest will be judged by high school students who won the contest in past years.
To enter write a short story and bring it to Mr. Turner’s classroom (Room 210) by the end of the school day Wednesday, May 3.
The story has to be original and fiction. There are no length requirements, but if it is too long, it will push the judges' patience, Mr. Turner said.
And yes, there will be cash prizes!!! The first place winner receives $15, second place $10, third place $5, fourth place $3, fifth place $2 and sixth through 20th places receive one dollar apiece. The writer of the top story in each grade is guaranteed to win at least $10.
