My partner and I (also an English teacher - but at another school) decided a couple years ago to try and encourage good creative writing from our classes. One way we have tackled this challenge is to create a short story competition for our system of school's students.

It was fair easier to do than I thought.

1. Create the rules and entry forms.

2. Create a website with a domain.

3. Arrange a good judge and sponsor of CASH!

4. Tell everyone!

This is the third year we are running it, and last year we had over 40 excellent entries from high school students from our schools.

Thanks to James Roy for judging, Avondale College for paying (but staying out of the running of the comp) and please check out our site: www.tubwriting.com

Oh yes - the hardest part in all this was thinking of a memorable name for the competition. I think we did. And no - it means nothing.
