CCL Teens: Six-Word Memoir Contest In-Person
During the month of April, Chester County Library is running a Six-Word Memoir Contest for teens in Grades 6-12. The topic: Life during COVID-19.
"Six-Word Memoirs" are a personal twist on the writing form that, according to literary lore, Ernest Hemingway started when he was challenged to write a whole novel in just six words: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
Teens should email their Six-Word Memoirs to LURBANI@CCLS.ORG.
Please include the following in your email: Your name, grade, school, and your Six-Word Memoir.
The contest runs April 1-30, 2021.
Prizes will be awarded for each grade. Winners will be notified on Monday, May 3, and will have their work published on Chester County Library's Facebook page and Instagram page.
This event is for students in Grades 6-12.
