Since 1993 Creative Communication has sponsored writing contests for students across the United States and Canada. By sponsoring poetry and essay contests we have become a partner with thousands of teachers in promoting writing to the youth of today. We receive hundreds of letters each year thanking us for providing an extra spark in the classroom that helps teachers motivate their students. Each year we award tens of thousands of dollars to young writers in awards and to schools in grants. Teachers who have five or more students accepted in an individual contest will also receive a free copy of the anthology that includes their students. Schools with exceptional entries qualify to apply for one of our language arts grants.

The best poems and essays are invited to be published in our anthologies. The philosophy for our anthology is that we are selective so that it is an honor to be included, but not so exclusive that it is discouraging to enter. This results in our accepting about 45% of the entries. There are no entry fees, and no required purchase to be in the anthology or the contest.

Please browse our website if you would like to find out more information about our contests. We are teachers helping teachers. Please contact us if you have any questions.
