Weekly Reader's Student Publishing Contest honors the best in nonfiction publications and writing by students in grades 3-12. The contest is intended to inspire young people to tell compelling, true stories through good reporting and writing. Best of all, this year it's free!

INDIVIDUAL STUDENT WRITING
Any piece of student nonfiction writing between 500 and 2,500 words is eligible, including memoirs, essays, and stories about news events. Each entry should include:

• crisp writing and accurate information;
• compelling and engaging word choice;
• principles of good writing and/or reporting.
  

Note: Entries do not have to be published and do not need to be affiliated with a school.

WHOLE PUBLICATION
Student publications, including newspapers, magazines, and literary magazines that include nonfiction, are eligible. Each entry should include:

• clear, interesting writing and good grammar;
• an attractive layout and effective photo use;
• a variety of voices and diversity of opinion.

Note: Any electronic complement to the student publication—such as an official student-created Web site—will also be considered in judging the entry.
