Steffie Young Readers Choice Awards 22/23
Steffie Young Readers Choice Awards
Write an original story that has 200 to 1000 words. You may enter 1 time. Stories must be submitted by one person, not by a group. Stories may not be the retelling of a story, movie or video game. Please remember to have your name, your teacher’s name and the title of your story on your first page. Enter a story with neat writing or typing, and remember—spelling, punctuation, and capitals count! Stories should be sent in a digital format . You may share with Google Drive or you may email your story to Ms. Sandberg at esandberg@cesd73.ca. Please let Ms. Sandberg know if you do not receive an email saying she received your story.
Finalists will be selected by Ms. Sandberg and her panel of judges. Students at our school will vote for the winning story. The winner will receive a $25.00 gift card from Chapters and a copy of The Steffie, a book published by our school with stories by this year’s winners and runner-ups. Runner ups will also receive a copy of the book.
Stories are due Friday, January 27th, 2023.
Tips: Think about the words you are using for your story and descriptions. Try to write so your reader is able to feel like they can really imagine your story, or feel they are really there. You may choose to do some research to make your story feel more real. Also refer to the author checklist on the back of this page to be sure your story may be considered in the finals.
