S For Story/10571842
ST. PAUL, Minn. - s4story -- Planting People Growing Justice™ Leadership Institute (PPGJLI) Founder, Dr. Artika Tyner, announced that the non-profit organization is conducting two writing competitions – one for children and one for adults. Complete rules and submission details can be found at PPGJLI.
The MLK Day Writing Competition is being held in partnership with the Minnesota Twins baseball team. Open to youth in grades K-5 living in Minnesota, the theme is "How Can You Be A Drum Major for Justice." It's an opportunity for youth to tell how they will be a leader in their community, school, and other environments.
Entries must be 1,000 words or less and can be fiction or creative fiction, prose, or poetry. Winners will be awarded in 1st through 3rd place. The deadline is Wednesday, March 1, 2023, and entries should be submitted online at the PPGJLI website.
For adults, the Writing for Social Change competition includes a four-part workshop to inspire and assist individuals in becoming published authors of children's books. The competition is made possible by the Minnesota Humanities Center through the Legacy Arts and Cultural Heritage fund. Aspiring BIPOC authors will gain essential tools and knowledge from experienced literary artists to create culturally diverse books for children.
