The Lady Diann Torres Foundation\u2019s 3rd Annual Young Author\u2019s Language in Literacy Writing Competition is calling on all students to have their original stories published. <\/p>\n
This is the third year of the program, which invites students to participate in hopes of getting their books published.<\/p>\n
To participate, authors must be between 11 and 18 years old, stories must reflect the CNMI\u2019s local culture or practices, and the original story must have a translation in either Chamorro, Carolinian, or both languages.
\nIn addition, the foundation was approved a grant from the NMI Humanities Council and they have the opportunity to at least publish two or more books than they normally do. <\/p>\n
Cielo Long, who is from Tinian Junior Senior High School and earlier won a chance to have her story published, said she was truly amazed that she got an opportunity to share her writing passion.
\n\u201cThanks to the Lady Diann Torres Foundation, I was a part of events and donated my book to various libraries as well as local families,\u201d she said <\/p>\n
Long would like to encourage future young writers to take advantage of this incredible opportunity.
\n\u201cExpress yourself through writing, and expand your potential. I would have never thought that something as simple as a short story contest would greatly impact my capabilities as a writer,\u201d she added.
\nSubmission deadline will be on May 15, 2020 <\/p>\n
