Southeast Missouri Writing Achievement Awards |
|
The Southeast Missouri Writing Achievement Awards program was begun in 1982 by the English Department as a way of recognizing the accomplishments of student writers in schools within the University’s service region. Awards are given to writers of fiction, poetry, and essays in grade levels 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Entries are submitted in the fall, and judging takes place in December and January. All entries are read by at least two faculty judges. The winning entries are published in a booklet, and the winners are recognized in a ceremony each April on the Southeast campus.
For each grade range, there are three awards in each genre—first place and two honorable mentions. Each winner receives a certificate, a copy of the booklet, and a commemorative t-shirt. The winners’ schools also receive certificates. All participating schools are sent a copy of the booklet.
