Martyn Godfrey Young Writers Award

CONGRATULATIONS to the 2011 MGA WINNERS

Caileigh Reid of Grande Prairie, AB for One Bad Hair Day

and

Alena Leonova of Calgary, AB for Not My Happy Ending

 

Caileigh and Alena each received a copy of the book Fields of Home, an author visit to their schools during our annual Taleblazers Festival and admission to WordsWorth, the camp for youth who believe in the power of words.

 

This year, we were pleased to offer a prize for the runner up story! Congratulations to Laura E. Stacey of Bowden, AB for Xanthophobia. Laura won admission to WordsWorth.

 

The Martyn Godfrey Young Writers Award is open to Albertan students in grades 7, 8 and 9. Each spring we invite young writers to make us laugh by submitting a humorous story (500 to 1500 words). Check back in the new year for details about the 2012 Award!
