A Note of Gratitude and Congratulations

A great big CONGRATULATIONS to our category winners and to all our finalists, who made our JUDGES’ job SUPER tough this year. I lost track of how many judges wanted to declare a tie, but there can be only one winner 🙂

We hope you’ll all enter a story in our 2017 contest. All the details are here:  2017 Contest Details

Once again, congratulations to our 2016 entrants!

Look for the winning stories online in the next couple weeks. And our winners can expect their packages in the mail about a week after they confirm their mailing address (look in your email for a note from Adventure Write).
