Each year for the past twenty-two years, Circle Benton Elementary (Benton, KS) sponsors a writing and art contest for third through sixth grade students. The theme for the 2021-22 school year was sports and hobbies. Awards are given to the children with the top entries in prose, poetry, and art for each grade. The winners of the first through third places and honorable mention entries are recognized at an assembly with certificates and a booklet containing their entry. After the awards are presented, winners autograph books for the judges and their friends. Cynthia Ross and Sandee Taylor, Kansas Authors Club District 5 members, have judged the contest multiple years. This year Cynthia judged the poetry category for sixth grade and Sandee judged fourth grade poetry.
THIS JUST IN! The hotel wants our attendance numbers for the convention by September 20! If you have not already registered to attend, please do so today. We would love to see you in person, but we have virtual tickets available for those who are more comfortable attending from the comfort of their own home. One room of workshops will be live-streamed (and recorded) during the convention weekend. Recordings of all workshops will be made available to attendees after the convention (available to watch online for 3 months). If you have questions, follow our convention news feed.
Poet, novelist, technical writer, editor, lyricist, and educator Catherine Hedge will be our featured reader on our 7:00 p.m. Zoom meeting, Tuesday, September 13, 2022.
