Poetry/Prose: Reader's Choice

Computer Applications: Limit three participants per school. Additional entries will be waitlisted and entered if space permits. Schools must provide their own computers/printers.

Journalism/Ready Writing: Computers and printers will be provided, however, if students choose to use their own laptops they must provide their own printers and any cords needed due to networking constraints.

A portion of the proceeds from this meet go to the Team Rike Scholarship fund in honor of Rick, Macy, and Caleb Rike.
