Final Week to Enter The 2021 Writing Contest

Every year, the Department of English & Modern Languages holds writing competitions in ten categories recognizing work written in introductory classes (like WRT 110, 111, and 210); critical essays on literature; interdisciplinary essays; and original poems, plays, and stories. The competitions are open to any University of Hartford student.  

We will be giving away thousands of dollars in prize money.

Did you write a great essay in WRT 110 one or two years back? Send it in. Do you have any poems or stories tucked away on your computer? Send them in. How about any essays that span more than one discipline? It is free to enter these contests. Why not take a chance?

The categories: 

Personal Essays Written in an Introductory Class (WRT 110, 111, and 210, ENG 140, or honors equivalents)
