Annual AACS Creative Writing Contest


This annual contest offers students a great opportunity to hone their creative writing skills and compete with other students in Indiana and nationally. It is open to students in all IACS member schools and is separate from the spring FABA competitions. 

Students may enter one of two divisions based on the student's current grade:
  1. Elementary Division, grades 4-6
  2. Junior High Division, grades 7-8

Winners for the state competition are announced by email and are automatically entered in the national competition. A complete list of winners for the most recent state and national competitions are posted on the AACS website.
