We are so excited to announce our annual statewide writing contest is now accepting submissions! We’re looking for fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and other forms of creative writing related to this year’s theme: LOST & FOUND. Open to all Maine writers ages 10-18. One grand prize winner will receive $200 and publication in our spring anthology.

Our black and brown students have been telling us how they’re feeling, right now. In response, we’ve collaborated with our students to turn over our most visible current platforms, our social media, and monthly newsletter, to them in a new online series called The Voice of a Pride. We feel these are the most vital voices to hear at this moment in time. Through upheaval or calm, we believe in the power of human connection and the relatability and resolve that can come from it.
