Writing/Humanities - Contests, Awards, Recognition?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm painfully unaware of the undoubtedly huge list of awards and contests for students whose focus lies primarily in the humanities, particularly writing and literature.<br>
For this reason, I'm sure it would be beneficial to the many liberal arts-inclined high schoolers to compile a list of programs that might recognize their talents and interests.</p>

<p>Though the following is embarrassingly meager, below is my introductory list:</p>

<p>Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
National History Day
Leonard Milberg '53 Secondary School Poetry Prize</p>

<p>I'll edit this post with all suggestions provided. Because I write, I'm most excited about discovering new writing contests, but please, all humanities are welcome! :)</p>

<p>Stumbled upon several new contests. I obviously don’t have any insight into whether or not they’re legitimate, but onto the list they go!</p>
