EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY! FOR ALL CLASSES

Attached is a link to the Booth Western Art Museum Writing Competition. For an extra credit (yet to be determined because it has to be approved by the department) grade, you can complete an entry to the contest.

Who can enter? The competition is open to students in grades 9 – 12 in Georgia, public or private schools, and students who are home-schooled in grades 9 – 12.

Incentives:  Award certificates, recognition (press release sent to local paper in student’s city/county, winners photographed and posted on our website), and cash prizes for students. Museum passes, gift cards, and recognition for teachers. Please note: this is a statewide competition and looks GREAT on a college application!

Deadline for entries:  December 9, 2016

What to Write?  Students may enter short stories, essays, narrative poetry and/or Cowboy poetry. Entries must be the result of a required writing assignment based on selected works of art from Booth Museum’s collection. Each entry must be submitted to a teacher for a grade. Images and lesson plans are available by grade level on the Museum’s website,
http://boothmuseum.org/writing-through-art/ . Local schools may choose to visit the museum to see the selected art (entrance fees to the museum do apply).



How many entries can be submitted per school? The contest coordinator at each school or home-school group can submit up to twelve entries per genre to the Booth Museum. Example: 12 essays, 12 short stories, 12 narrative poems and 12 cowboy poems*
