NCLBPH’s Writing Contest!

The North Carolina Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped is having its first Writing Contest!

In relation to the theme for Summer Reading this year, “Imagine Your Story”, we think it will be great for our patrons to not only imagine their story, but to share it as well.

Each submission will be judged based on its clarity, creativity, spelling/grammar, and impact. We will accept submissions in a typed, brailled, or audio format.

There will be three top spots for each age group, but everyone who enters will receive recognition for their participation.

This is a patron only event and we encourage interested patrons to enter! We look forward to reading your stories!
