Regrettably, due largely to low rates of submission in several categories, no winners were named for Feature/Magazine, First-Year Essay, and Professional/Technical Writing.  

The winning works will be published online and in a small volume and honored at the Writing Contest Award Ceremony and Reading on Thursday, April 5 at 6 p.m. in the Handwerker Gallery.  The event is free and open to the public.

Many thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s contest.  We look forward to celebrating student writing in 2013.
