<p>I recently found out that I won a silver key for poetry and an honorable mention for a short story. I've never really done anything like this before so I'm a bit confused. So here are a few questions:</p>
<p>Do I actually get a silver key/trophy/diploma?
Do I receive any money for a scholarship?
Would this look nice to put on an application? Honorable mention and silver at regional levels aren't exactly impressive.</p>
<p>If anyone has any experience with this, their words would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. </p>
<p>The results are up tomorrow… you had me worried for a sec aha</p>
<p>Actually, they send you an email beforehand if you won anything. I got my notification Wednesday. </p>
<p>Ah. I won honorable mention but received no email for a short story.</p>
<p>I won but didn’t get any emails… Maybe because I sent mine to the region at large, not any special program. I had to dig through the site. </p>
<p>And I believe the “key” is a little metal thing. You may or may not get it, my memory is unclear (my sister did it years ago). </p>
<p>And you get a certificate in the mail. Money, no. </p>
