BY SAM PAULEY Our Library is participating in the Black-Eyed Susan Awards this year! This is a state-wide award given to books chosen by Maryland students. Last year's winner for the High School Category was The Naturals, by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
Voting opens in April, but to be eligible you must have read three of the Black-Eyed Susan nominees. To help you out, KI Voice is starting a series of reviews. Look for snippets on the Buc Report, and check the Books section of our website for the full review. This year's nominees are:
BY SAM PAULEY An annual, national contest. The 2017 season starts accepting submissions September 14th. Visit artandwriting.org to create an account and submit your work. There is a small submissions fee, but fee waivers are available if it poses a financial barrier. There are too many categories for us to list here, so go check out the website! If you wrote something, chances are there's a category for it. The deadline for submissions is December 14th. BY LAUREN MOYNIHAN KI Voice is proud to announce its second contest of the school year!
In order for your story to qualify for this contest, it must be titled after a Christmas or any other winter holiday song. It doesn't have to be about said holidays, however. Just be sure to use a title that makes sense with your piece. For example, if you title your submission "Jingle Bells", be sure to include something related to bells in the plot. You have a lot of creative license with this contest, so use your imagination. Submissions can be submitted from December 8th, 2016 to January 4th, 2017. The winner will be announced that same week. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We hope to see your stories! |
