Children’s Writing Showcase: KidsWrite! San Diego
Theme: My San Diego Story
Submission due date: March 13, 2019
San Diego County is the unique backdrop for your story! From Pacific Ocean waves to Anza-Borrego sands, from the International Border in the south to Camp Pendleton up north: what does this special corner of the country mean to you? How has your San Diego experience shaped who you are? Or could it be that you have helped shape your city—your community—by just being you?
Young writers (ages 6 to 18) are invited to share their unique perspectives, in fiction or nonfiction, in the categories of Poetry, Reflective Essay, or Short Story. Entrants may write in their primary language but must include or attach an English translation. Entries must not exceed 1,500 words. There is no cost to submit.
The top entries in each category and age division will be published on the San Diego Writers Festival (SDWF) website. All participants are invited to attend and be recognized at the SDWF on April 13, 2019. Winning entrants may read their works aloud. Winning entries will be displayed, and all entries will be made available to read, at the SDWF. Additionally, winning entries will receive a cash prize (amount TBD based on the number of qualifying entries in each division).
