Youth Writing and Art Contest Awards Program

Welcome to the 2023 Emerald Coast Writers' Youth Writing and Art Contest Awards Ceremony. Follow along in our program guide to see the winners as they are introduced. Our special thanks go to the teachers, librarians, administrators, and volunteers for making this 2023 contest successful. We are especially grateful to Books-A-Million for hosting our awards ceremony and by helping us encourage young readers, writers, and artists. This year's theme, "When the Darkness Falls," includes winners from private and public schools along with home school students in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Thank you, young writers, for sending us your remarkable words and images.
