2026 DC Metro Scholastic Writing Awards
Awards have not been posted yet for the Scholastic Writing Awards 2026. Check back on Friday at 4:00 PM.
In the meantime, we hope you consider submitting your work to multiple recognition and publication opportunities. Most successful writers don’t become published or win awards until they’ve been writing and submitting for years. To help young writers practice submitting and get their work out there in print, Writopia Lab shares a monthly submissions newsletter with a variety of thoughtfully curated opportunities.
Sign up for the newsletter!
We are also hosting a free 3-hour Submissions Party on Sunday, April 26! This will be a time to connect with other young writers, learn how to identify and submit to literary magazines and writing contests, and receive guidance from published authors on revising and submitting your work.
Register for the Submissions Party!
