            Silver Pens is hosting a writing contest. You can submit either a personal essay or flash fiction piece. A personal essay can persuade, inform, or entertain and a flash fiction essay is a very short story. Make sure your essay has a definite beginning, middle, and end.             There is no entry fee or form to enter, you simply type your essay, a cover page, and bring it to Mr. Cross.             The essay needs to be 1 to 2 pages typed, double spaced, and with no smaller than 12-font. DO NOT put your name on the essay itself so the judging can be completely fair and un-bias. Include your name on the cover page with the title. No hand-written essays will be accepted.             Your piece will be judged on creativity, content, grammatical correctness, and organization. The deadline is April 24th.             There will be 1 st through 4 th place winners. Cash prizes will be awarded!             We hope that this will be an effective and fun experience for all the young writers at North County.             P.S. - you can enter essays that you have written for class as long as they meet these requirements.             Good luck! ]]> Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:32:24 GMT
