Letters About Literature Contest Deadline January 8, 2021

How did an author's work change your view of the world or yourself?

Letters About Literature is a reading-writing contest that encourages students to write a personal letter to an author, living or dead, from any genre, explaining how that author’s work changed your way of thinking about the world or yourself. In South Carolina, there are three competition levels with three winners at each level: Level I for children in grades 4-6; Level II for grades 7 & 8, and Level III, grades 9–12. For each level, first place winners receive $100, second place winners receive $50, and third place winners receive $25, courtesy of the South Carolina State Library Foundation.
