2009 Writing Contest Winners

A special thanks to all the young writers who entered our contest. You’ll see that in a few categories (nonfiction 10-13, and both poetry and fiction 14-17) there are no entries, for we did not receive enough works in these categories to judge (We omitted any category that did not have at least five pieces of publishable work). While we were disappointed by the decrease in overall entries this year, in the categories where writers did submit, our task was no easier, for the prose and poetry was unique, varied, and had much to recommend it. We are proud to name the following as winner, and we hope all participants will join us at Beseme Restaurant in Lewes on December 6 (5:00 –7:00pm) to read their work.
