Writing contests???AWARDS?

<p>Ok, so I've heard of Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.... So i was wondering....
Is there any other notable writing awards and contests besides Scholastic? Anything humanities-ish I guess.</p>

<p>I was just thinking of posting this exact same thread :) There are some interesting links [url=<a href="http://cty.jhu.edu/imagine/linkb.htm%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;http://cty.jhu.edu/imagine/linkb.htm]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;] - I'm looking through the list right now.</p>

<p>[url=<a href="http://www.ncte.org/profdev/online/ideas/freq/125806.htm%5DThis%5B/url"&gt;http://www.ncte.org/profdev/online/ideas/freq/125806.htm]This[/url&lt;/a&gt;] is a pretty good list that I just found from the National Council of Teachers of English.</p>

<p>quaere, you beat me to it.</p>

<p>i also know that being publishe din the Concord Reveiw is supposed to be pretty impressive, according to some of my reading. <a href="http://www.tcr.org/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.tcr.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Are there any free alternatives to the concord review?</p>

<p>Thanks guys, for all the links. I would also like to know if there are any free alternatives to the concord review.</p>

<p>All the contests I have seen/entered have an entry fee- except the NCTE awards. However, you must be nominated by a teacher to enter those.</p>

<p>For the Scholastic Writing competition, do you HAVE to list a Teacher's name?</p>

<p>I think so. I just put down my teacher's name (she had never read the story I was submitting) and asked her to sign it. It wasn't really a big deal.</p>
