GALVANIZE: OT: Scholastic Art and Writing Award - Jurors Needed

Good morning!

It's that time of year again. Thanks to all who helped last year.

Read the entire email including the time restrictions...got a late start due to grad school, my grandfather's passing, and life during COVID.

Please respond to me directly - no reply all.

Best,

Carletta

Good morning and Happy Holidays!

I am reaching out to see if anyone has some time to volunteer and help out with some reading! It's that time of year again - Scholastic Writing Award Juoring.

General Information:

The Scholastic Writing Awards (www.artandwriting.org) is the largest, longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for teen writers in the country.
 
Celebrating 90 years of excellence, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have given students a chance to have their voices heard. They boast a noteworthy roster of past winners including Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford and Joyce Carol Oates.
 
The road to local, regional and national recognition starts with submissions reviewed by qualified individuals in various areas. Volunteer jurors are needed now!
 
Details:
                  Dates:                       December 22 - January 5, 2021
                  Location:                  Online (comfort of your home or office)
                  Commitment:          6-8 hours of reading/scoring over the 5 days
                  Compensation:       Participation in helping support a teen**
       
 
Juror Qualifications:  Writers, teachers, excellent readers.  
 
Specifically, we are seeking writers of all kinds (fiction writers, poets, playwrights, journalists, etc), editors, members of not-for-profit literary groups, university faculty in the literary arts, graduate writing students, and high school English teachers.

The Ask:
I'm on a very tight deadline and still have quite a few panels that need jurors so we're offering the following incentives...

*If you finish BY December 31, you will receive an Amazon Gift Card ($25).
**If you finish BY January 3, you are eligible to win an Amazon Gift Card ($20). We have FIVE to give away.

 
Interested? Available? Please complete the form. I'll be in contact within 24 hours to get you started.

Thanks in advance and feel free to share!

Best,

Carletta

Trying is an honorable failure. Make sure you are DOING all you can everyday!

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so..
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance , TAKE IT!
If it changes your life , LET IT!
Nobody said it would be easy...
They just promised it would be worth it!
