SCLLN Writer to Writer Awards ◯ 2019

SCLLN Writer to Writer Awards   2019

We are excited to announce the winners and runners-up for the 2019 Writer to Writer Challenge!  We had a great response—95 entries—and the quality of the letters was amazing!

We are so proud of all the learners who wrote letters.  Each letter was a beautiful expression of the learner’s thoughts and feelings.  The ones selected as winners and runners-up most closely met the contest criteria, but as one coordinator said, every letter had its own “pizzazz.”

Please join other writers, tutors, coordinators and their guests at our conference lunch presentation on Saturday, March 21, at the Holiday Inn Buena Park

The winners and runners-up will each receive a cash prize and a certificate, and all letter writers will receive a certificate of participation.

We encourage all coordinators to invite and sponsor all your writers and their tutors for this special event.

The registration fees are only $15 for learners and $35 for tutors/staff (early bird, SCLLN member) and are an appropriate use of CLLS grant funding.

Inviting your Writer to Writer participants would be an excellent way to recognize our writers and their tutors.  Congratulations to all our letter writers!
