To foster writing skill development and provide a writing platform to young minds, Talentnook has launched another writing contest for students of grades 3-5

SAN RAMON, CA, UNITED STATES, May 22, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Even in a pandemic year, when travel has been somewhat restricted, middle schoolers from the United States brought out their creative writing flair with the Talentnook Superhero Story writing contest. The Writing contest was held to recognize and encourage the talents of middle school students and invited all middle schoolers to participate.

The contest provided an opportunity for students to bring out their inner fiction writer, practice creative writing, and be recognized for their talents by more than just their teacher’s grade-level


The Contest
Beginning in October 2020, middle school students (Grades 6- 8) were invited to submit their entries according to any one of the two categories: in the form of a Narrative Story or Graphic Story (Comic Book Style). The submissions were required to be original works of not more than 2000 words (for narrative story style) and not more than 8 pages (for comic book graphic story style).

We received hundreds of entries from middle school students from all over the United States. Entries for the Superhero Story Writing Contest were reviewed using a rubric scale by a panel of Talentnook Educators and Writing Experts. The entries were judged by Ms. Eileen Mammen, a published children’s book author, educator, and creator of the Talentnook Writing Academy with more than 15 years of experience mentoring students in the English Language Arts

The winners were announced through a virtual award ceremony on April 29, 2021. This year, the winners were invited to read from their work and talk about what inspired their imagination when attempting the writing contest prompt, as part of an awards video.

Ms. Eileen Mammen, the contest judge quotes, “Our contest winners were insightful and socially conscious young people who expressed their feelings in text and graphics. Middle school students have the ability and talent not only to understand human needs but to offer solutions to help personal struggles.”
