The Winning Essays and Poems for the 2008 Literary Contest have been posted.

As Promised last month the winning essays of these three young authors have been posted to my blog.  This is the second year that I have sponsored this Literary Contest at Lincoln High School and it continues to grow.  There were many more entries this year, and the quality of the writings submitted by the students just keeps getting better and better.  The students entries are individually judged by a select group of teachers and the winners are announced in assembly.  Now they get to see them published.  The drawings shown below are the ones the winners chose to write about.

I posted just a short exurb from the winning entries last month.  I just posted the winning essays and poems on my fine art blog, The Extraordinary Pencil...now you can read the winning entries in their entirety.
The winners are posted separately, so be sure to comment on what they have written.  Remember, each student was to express "what the drawing meant to them".  I know they have all worked very hard on this and your comments will be important to them.

Again...a Huge Congratulations...you are a very deserving group of young writers.
