See the Entries
Science Fair – History Alive – Short Stories
First Place: $100
Second Place: $75
Third Place: $50
Honorable Mention: $25
Age categories “Junior” 8-12, “Senior” 13-17
If there aren’t enough entries, the number of awards will be fewer and up to my discretion. If there are a lot of entries, I may, at my discretion, create/rearrange categories. We’ll see how it goes! For the short story competition we kept the age categories, added a fourth place, and awarded honorable mention to more than a dozen students.
Group submissions welcome, but only one person should submit the project and be responsible for receiving and splitting the award. The oldest person in the group determines the category.
$25 non-refundable entrance fee is due at the time of project submission.
There are currently no themes. That may be something we add in the future.
All entrants must be homeschool students under the age of 18.
Judges will remain anonymous and will have no children in the competition.
