WRITING CONTESTS HOTBOARD 

The Writing Center Writing Contest

The Missouri S&T Writing Center will begin accepting submissions for their 8th annual writing contest in March, 2009. All Missouri S&T undergraduates will be invited to submit their best written work in any of seven categories:

  • short story - general topic
  • short story - sci-fi/fantasy
  • autobiographical/personal essay
  • analytical essay
  • English 20 essay
  • research paper
  • technical writing

All submissions will again be limited to no more than 3,000 words.  Students may enter as many categories as they would like, but may enter a single category only once, and may enter a single essay/story only once.
