The CANE Writing Contest is an annual event open to students taking Latin, Greek, or Classics in New England middle and high schools. Prizes are awarded to top contenders on the state and regional level.
The goals of the contest can best be served by requesting that the written project be the student’s own work. Hence, the student should not ask for any help in writing or correcting the project before submitting the final copy.
Competition Process
For this writing contest: provide your own short story, poem, essay, or dialogue on the topic of dealing with or facing adversity in the ancient world. Your project will be judged holistically, based on how successfully you address the given topic, how well you engage your reader, and how well you write as you present your idea.
Judging Criteria
Your project will be judged holistically, based on how successfully you address the given topic, how imaginative and creative your idea is, and how well you use language to engage your reader. The winner receives their award at the annual meeting of CANE and reads the winning entry at the annual meeting banquet.Participate
