This is a contest that has
been conducted annually since 1998, and students in grades 6-12 are eligible.
Students are asked to submit either an essay or poem under 1,000 words on an
outdoors-related topic such as camping, fishing or hunting. Online submissions
are encouraged.
There are two age divisions,
with winners selected in each of the two categories (prose and poetry).
The Senior Division is for
students enrolled in grades 9-12, and the Junior Division is for students in
grades 6-8 for the 2014/ 2015 school year.
Through a partnership with
Cabela’s, Outdoor News provides the winning entries a cash prize. $100 for
first place in each age division, and one poetry winner in each group and
second place in each age division will win $50. Winners also receive an
award plaque and the winning entries are submitted to the Outdoor Write
Association of America annual writing contest where they are eligible for
additional cash prizes.
