The Young Writers’ Contest, which is open to students five-to-18 years old in both the Vernon and North Okanagan-Shuswap school districts, closes April 5.
Students can submit work in two categories: poems and short stories (500 words max.)
Cash prizes will be awarded Saturday, May 26 at the festival.
