IEW Taking Submissions for Annual Writing Contest

The Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) known for creating curriculum, which brings out the writer in all – from the reluctant writer to the lover of the skill – is holding its eleventh annual writing contest for students ages eight to 18 years old. Being a user of the curriculum is not necessary for students to participate in the writing contest.
Not only will students have the opportunity to win prizes, but their parent/teacher will too!
First Prize: $400 (for student) + $400 IEW gift certificate (for parent or teacher)
Second Prize: $200 (for student) + $200 IEW gift certificate (for parent or teacher)
Third Prize: $100 (for student) + $100 IEW gift certificate (for parent or teacher)
There are three categories for writing contestants, which are Level A (ages 8–10), Level B (ages 11–13), and Level C (ages 14–18). Each level will have a writing prompt for the competition.
