In 2012, Golden Key will once again be holding our National Creative Writing Contest in partnership with ING DIRECT.
This contest was initiated at a local Golden Key Concordia chapter along
with ING DIRECT collaboration and has become an annual success since its
inception. The purpose of the contest is to encourage participation,
creativity, and achievement among young high school students.
The Creative Writing Contest is intended for Grade 7 to 9 high school
students across Canada. Submissions must be short stories of 300 to 700
words that use as a theme one of the Golden Key values: integrity,
collaboration, innovation, respect, diversity, excellence or
engagement.
Each submission must clearly indicate the student’s full name, school, English teacher, and email address.
The top 3 national winners will receive ING DIRECT bursaries in the amounts of $1000, $500 and $300.
Entries will be judged according to the
following criteria: grammar/vocabulary, overall creativity, plot,
character, and adherence to one of the themes.
All entries must be submitted to the students’ English teacher by March 1, 2012. The local Golden Key chapter will review the entries. All winners will be notified by email.
