Whitewater Talented and Gifted Network

Writing Opportunities
Southern Lakes Anthology Writing Contest
Students in participating districts can submit one of three types of writing--poetry, prose, or illustrated writing--for possible inclusion in the Southern Lakes Anthology.

Every spring, Whitewater TAG members select a theme for the following year's anthology.  The theme for 2011-2012 is "Aha".  Entry deadlines are set by each school's gifted and talented coordinators.  The top 24 submissions from each district are judged at a Whitewater TAG meeting in January. 

This year's judging day is Tuesday, January 24, 2012.  The entries are scored using a rubric, and the best are chosen to be included in the anthology.  The published artists are invited to a recognition ceremony held on May 24, 2012 at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the Young Auditorium where they receive a complimentary copy of the anthology.
