THE WADE EDWARDS
SHORT FICTION AWARD
page 1 - 2 - 3 |
|
The Wade Edwards Foundation awards the annual Wade Edwards Short Fiction Award to the North Carolina high school junior who submits the year's most outstanding original work of short fiction.
The competition is supported by, and made possible because of the work of the North Carolina English Teachers Association and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The award is intended to reward excellence in creative writing and to encourage contemplation of virtues among high school students.
In their submitted short fiction, students are encouraged to consider and address one or more of the qualities associated with Wade Edwards -- humility, strength of convictions, loyalty, honor, charity, determination, the value of friendship, and the obligations of friendship and community.
