The Promising Writer Award was established in 2006 in order to recognize the outstanding writing of four first-year writing students each year. Any student in a 109, 110.03, or 110 course is eligible, as long as the course was completed since the beginning of summer quarter 2009. The awards are made in the fall and announced on the English Program Website.

 

The First-Year Writing Program invites students in all first-year writing courses to submit their best work for the Promising Writer Award. To submit an essay to the competition (one per writer, please), send the text electronically to green.518@osu.edu or drop off a hard copy at the Writer's Studio in Warner 210. All submissions must be accompanied by the completed cover sheet. The deadline for submissions this year is May 15th.
