The Writing Relays is an exciting, fun, team-based writing contest for high school students in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Writing Relay events celebrate student talents in many different areas and genres of written communication including creative writing, persuasive writing, descriptive writing, and impromptu writing. In short, the Writing Relays is a great opportunity for students who enjoy writing or are interested in a career in writing.
Relay participants will have the chance to be judged, recognized, and rewarded by a panel of university English professors. Students will also get the chance to tour the campus and speak to a panel of UW-Stout students majoring in Technical Communications about possible careers in writing and about college life in general.
Each student will also receive a certificate of participation for attending the event. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams in each event will receive trophies and UW-Stout gear and apparel.
