The Scholastic Awards are the most prestigious art and writing competition in the country.

North Dakota teens can submit their writing HERE from early September through mid-December.
Students from Hazen, ND and Fosston, MN participated in RRVWP-led journalism workshops to tell the stories of their rural places and people. Erika Dyk (Hazen), Sherry Lind (Beulah), and Sierra Gilbertson (Fosston) led this MacArthur Foundation-funded program.
