From Meg Weaver:
The Center for the Book, in the Library of Congress, invites readers in grades 4 through 12 to enter LETTERS ABOUT LITERATURE, a national reading-writing contest.
To enter, readers write a personal letter to an author, living or dead, from any genre -- fiction or nonfiction, contemporary or classic, explaining how that author's work changed the student's way of thinking about the world or themselves.
There are three competition levels: Level I for children in grades 4 through 6; Level II for grades 7 and 8, and Level III, grades 9 - 12.
Winners receive cash awards at the national and state levels. See the details at www.loc.gov/loc/cfbook/letters.html (http://www.loc.gov/loc/cfbook/letters.html)
