About this Event

Young Writers Day is an annual celebration to recognize and celebrate statewide winners of the Young Writers Contest.

Since 1984, the West Virginia Young Writers Contest has celebrated student writing in the state. The contest grows out of a deep commitment to writing in all subjects, and to the publishing, displaying, and celebrating of student writing. Students in grades 1-12, including students in public, private, charter, and home schools, are invited to submit entries to their schools. Counties conduct county-wide judging prior to submitting winners to the state level competition. Once state level winners are named, the community is invited to Young Writers Day to celebrate the writing process and the incredible winning entries.
