<p>Has anyone heard back from the Scholastic Writing awards yet? Is anyone else in the region at large or also on the west coast?</p>
<p>i'm in region at large! woohoo. i'm really excited to find out how it went, but no i haven't gotten anything yet.</p>
<p>I think it was around this time last year? THe thing that sucks is they only notify the winners. So if you lose you could basically just be waiting around forever and never know. Especially in region at large where you may not know anyone else who has entered.</p>
<p>Does anybody know about what happened with the Short Short Story category? It was originally listed as 3,000 words max, but after the deadline they changed it to 1,300. I sent them an email as soon as I found out, asking if my story could be switched to Short Story instead, but nobody replied.</p>
<p>someone from my school got a gold key for their drawing.</p>
<p>I've heard back, and some of my friends have, but we're in NYC so I'm not sure how helpful that is to you...</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone, though!</p>
<p>Just for the heck of it, I'll go bump up the old thread.</p>
<p>I think NYC is its own region right? But I guess if they started telling some people already it shouldn't be too much longer.</p>
