GET CREATIVE
We invite young people from 1st through 12th grade to learn a little (or a lot!) about Scotland, and send us their poems and prose submissions.

The theme is SCOTLAND, and our young writers may interpret this any
way they choose.

The winners will be announced and the awards presented at the Wee Scotland stage in the Greenville Scottish Games June 6th. The winners will be invited to read their winning selection on stage. Winners do not need to be present to claim their prize. A selection of the winning entries will be published and made available through the Games.

• Each writer may submit up to three poems and/or one piece of prose up to 2,500 words.
• Each writer must submit four copies of each piece of writing with one entry form.
• The writer’s name and the title of each work should appear on the entry form only. The title of the work should appear on each page.
• A separate entry form must accompany each entry.
• All entries will be judged anonymously on their merit. Entries are free.
