The Orinda Junior Women's Club is pleased to announce details for Youth Ink 2012, the annual creative writing contest open to all sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students who live or attend school in Orinda.  The Youth Ink 2012 theme is "There is a Knock At The Door." 

The first rule is you can write about anything you like: Real or imaginary.  There is no limit to your imagination! There are cash prizes for first, second, and third place winners and ten honorable mentions will receive gift certificates from a local book store.  

Youth Ink 2012 submissions will be accepted on an ongoing basis but must be hand-delivered to a designated school representative or postmarked by February 10, 2012 and mailed to Orinda Junior Women's Club, Post Office Box 40, Orinda, CA 94563 in order to be considered for an award. 

Youth Ink 2012 submission forms are available through the administrative offices and English departments at schools in Orinda, or online.  Click here for a Youth Ink 2012 entry form!
