The purpose of the Young Georgia Authors (YGA) writing competition is to encourage students to develop enthusiasm for and expertise in their writing, to provide a context to celebrate their writing successes, and to recognize student achievement in arts and academics.
This prestigious competition has been engaging Georgia students for more than two decades and is open to any student currently enrolled in Georgia public schools, grades K -12. The competition is sponsored by the Georgia Language Arts Supervisors (GLAS) and the Georgia RESA Network with support from the Georgia Department of Education.
The grade-level winners selected by the North Springs ELA department are:
9th grade: Marien Brown
10th grade: Emily Hoff
11th grade: Anthony “AJ” Young
These budding writers will move on to the next round in the district competition.
