Each year, our judges find it’s often difficult to choose between several pieces of excellent writing. For those students that didn’t win, but still impressed our judges with exceptional writing, we award an Honorable Mention.
Congratulations to this year’s students who won an Honorable Mention! We hope they keep writing and keep submitting their work.
