RONAN — The Friends of the Ronan City Library is sponsoring a writing contest this year in conjunction with the Summer Reading Program. The Women’s Club of Ronan has generously volunteered to take the first, second and third-place winners in all groups, and move those winning short stories and poems to the state and national level as part of the Women’s Club writing contest. This will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase the talent of young writers in our community.
We will have two groups and participants can enter either a short story, a poem or both. The contest will start on June 17 and all entries must be completed and turned in by July 18. Entries will be turned over to three independent judges on July 22 and the first, second, and third-place winners in each group for short stories and poems will be announced at the Summer Reading Program picnic on Saturday, Aug. 17. There will be cash prizes for the top three winners in each group.
Group 1 (third, fourth, fifth-graders) – each child may submit one short story, one poem or both.
Group 2 (sixth, seventh, eighth-graders) – each child may submit one short story, one poem or both.
Children should enter in the group that reflects the grade they are entering in September. This contest is open to all children who reside within the Ronan Library service area (Ronan, Pablo, Charlo, St Ignatius) and attend public or private schools or are homeschooled.
We hope that parents and teachers will encourage children to enter. If you have any questions about the contest you can contact Vickie Radford at (406) 253-2371. Complete rules will be available at the Ronan City Library in June.
