Two Rivers High School announced in a report published November 5 that students should prepare for StoryCon, a national convention celebrating readers, writers, musicians, and storytellers. The event is scheduled to be held February 5-6 in Salt Lake City.
Students may participate in various contests by submitting a short story, a first chapter of a novel, a poem, an original piece of music, a short film, or a book cover design. According to the school, most contest deadlines are November 15. Participating in these contests offers a chance to be noticed by professionals in the publishing, art, or music industries.
Two Rivers High School has 10 student tickets available, each valued at $200. Students who attend both days of the convention and submit notes may earn .25 English credit.
Students interested in the contests or the convention can visit the school library to speak with the librarian, Maureen Grover. More information about the event and attending authors can be found at https://www.storycon.org/contests.
