Writing contest WInners

This year's MTL YA FEST Writing Contest has been an unqualified success; one that will have a lasting impact on the way the contest is run in the years ahead.

 

We received literally dozens of submissions, from the Montreal area and far beyond.  The creativity of the authors for outstripped the framework of the contest, and we received a breadth and depth of submissions beyond anything we might have imagined.

 

Consequently, we have been compelled to create and award in new categories and sub categories that will now feature in the contest permanently.  Thank you, to all of our writers, for showing us how we can improve the contest.
