The Toombs County School System has announced its district winners in the Young Georgia Authors writing competition. These outstanding writers moved on to compete against other winners in the First RESA District.

There is no specific topic or prompt in the Young Georgia Authors writing competition; the only guidelines are that students complete a work of writing that fits within one of the several genre choices – short stories, poetry, essays/literary criticism/analysis, journalism, academic/research reports, personal narratives, and any other original student writing – with a 1,900-word maximum limit. These entries are then judged based on their expression of ideas, language use, unique perspective, and voice to determine which pieces will move on. During the school district level of the competition, judges worked to select a work from one student in each grade level in the school system.
