If you’ve got a knack for developing a story, this contest is for you. You’ll be provided with the facts and quotes you need, and then it’s up to you to piece together a journalistic feature story your readers will remember.
Elements of the contest: The Feature Writing Contest teaches students to read critically; to digest and prioritize information quickly; and to write clearly, accurately, and succinctly. Emphasis is placed on the same writing skills as in other UIL journalism contests, as well as the ability to write descriptively.
