The Writing Contest invites current TWU students to submit their university-level writing for review in the contest. There are five categories for submission: First-year, Second-Third year, Fourth Year, Graduate, and Creative Writing. Applicants are allowed to submit one paper in their student-level category, and/or submit one paper in the Creative Writing category.
Submissions were reviewed by members of the TWU Writing Centre team, and then the top submissions in each category were reviewed by a team of faculty members. Special thanks to Professor Jessica Walters for reviewing the top creative writing entries. See the rubrics used to score the academic and creative writing entries HERE.
