Teachers Can Nominate High School Juniors for  NCTE Writing Awards

Nearly 700 students are honored each year in the NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing program for their excellence in writing.  Teachers nominate students for participation in January, and participants submit a sample of their best writing and write an impromptu theme in April. Winning students are notified in October of their senior year of high school.

The nominations deadline for the 2007 Achievement Awards in Writing program, now in its 50th year, is January 27, 2007. Contact the NCTE Student Awards Office (800-369-6283, ext. 3608) or visit the NCTE Web site  for complete details.
