Submissions Due: April 30, 2023
Program: Community Engaged Service Learning
Word count: Approx. 500
Our office is excited announce the 3rd annual Writing Competition open to all students at Dalhousie University. Unpublished and published pieces that have not previously been chosen as a contest winner are eligible; approximately 500 words.
We are trying something new and will be aligning the theme for the piece with one of our programs. This year, students are encouraged to explore the theme of Community Engagement. This is of particular interest to students participating in the Community Engaged Service Learning Program, but all Dalhousie students are encouraged to participate. Submissions will be evaluated based on idea, organization, style and grammar.
NB. Students participating in the Community Engaged Service Learning program are encouraged to submit their critical reflection. Students will have the opportunity to edit their reflections before publishing.
Prizes will be awarded based in the following categories:
- Best Imagery
- Most Cohesive
- Best Literary Style
Our office has partnered with the Dalhousie Writing Centre and will be offering writing workshops for students. Students are encouraged to attend a workshop; this includes the Writing Centre's regular Wednesday Workshops.
