In evaluating submissions, judges look for pieces that stand out, have strong voice, fresh content and power. After the judges make their selections, Young Writers Project editors take the finalists into classrooms where final selections are made by other students.

FIRST deadline is approaching. Deadline for pieces related to the first prompt -- EXPECTATIONS or LISTENING IN -- are due WEDNESDAY at the end of the day.

The primary aim of this project is to get student work published in outside media. Through its Newspaper Series, Young Writers Project partners with nine Vermont and New Hampshire newspapers to publish best student work once weekly throughout the school year, with weeks off corresponding to school vacations. All the work printed in the newspaper, plus selections by our judges that could not fit onto the newspaper pages, is also published on this Web site.
