<p>I entered a poetry competition when I was in the 10th grade, which was hosted by Ellen Hopkins. I found out at that time that I was a top 10 finalist. Could I put the fact that I was a top 10 finalist in the honors section? I wasn't the overall winner but she sent all the finalists copies of her books (not sure if relevant). So should I put this or not?</p>
<p>Yes, this is absolutely appropriate to put as an honor.</p>
