Please be aware of the following criteria for submissions: All entries must be original work from students currently enrolled at your school. To this end, we have adopted the following directions from the Royal Commonwealth Essay Competition: "The writer may be advised on preliminary planning and on source material but guidance from teachers or families should go no further than this. It is the essence of the competition that the submissions are the sole effort of the writer and they should not be composed or corrected by any person other than the writer." All submissions must have been written during the current (2011 - 2012) school year. N.B. Noteworthy writing from any subject area (English or French) could be considered.

The focus of the contest and the publication is excellence in writing.

2011 2012 Writing Contest


Each school is asked to undertake a school-based pre-screening process before submissions are made for district-wide judging. A school-based committee should decide on which and how many entries from each category to submit. Please keep in mind that the focus is on excellence. The total number of entries a school may submit must not exceed five per cent of the schools total student population. Submissions which have been previously published are not eligible. A completed official cover sheet (attached) must be included with all submissions. Identifying information (students name, grade and school) should be on the cover sheet only. Please ensure that the official cover sheet is used, and that cover sheet information is accurate and legible. Students are required to sign the cover sheet which confirms that it is their original work they are aware it is being submitted as a contest entry and it may be published by the school district in WORDS.

Secondary finalists will receive prizes. Only those chosen as finalists will have their work included in the WORDS publication. Please forward entries to Nina Ennis at the District Administration Office no later than Friday, February 24, 2012.
