SECONDARY: writing contests

[Patsy McLaughlin <PMclaug284@AOL.COM>]

Hello,
I have been a member of the list for about one year. Typically, I lurk &
learn a lot. I have always been impressed with the breadth and depth of the
help provided, so here is my first request for help.

I have been asked to research writing contests for grades 6 - 8 (middle
school).  I am in the process of doing that through GOOGLE, Librarians' Index
to the Internet and LM-Net's archives.  In the meantime, if any of you have
experience with writing contests that are particularly well-run / fun /
interesting for students / productive, would you please send me details
off-list?  I will compile the replies and post a hit.

TIA for your help.
