Each year, we sponsor a charity writing competition. This year, our contest will benefit DonorsChoose.org. DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that connects donors with classrooms in need. All around the country, public schools struggle under increased pressure and reduced budgets. Innovative teachers often find themselves reaching into their own pockets to buy even the most basic supplies for their classrooms. Through DonorsChoose.org, you can support education in your own community by supporting exciting projects that stimulate your minds and encourage them to excel.

By making a donation to DonorsChoose.org of $5 or more, you may enter up to five short stories in this year's writing competition. Please make sure to read the submission guidelines before donating to make sure your donation gets credited for purposes of the contest.
