The 2014 Young Native Writers Essay Contest is underway! The contest is designed to encourage young Native American writers to explore their heritage. It is open to Native American high school students from all Native communities. For 2014, students are being asked to write about one or more of the cultural images, symbols or art forms that have been historically developed by their community (American Indian, Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian) to communicate a particular message or value or serve a specific purpose. Essays are to be 1,200 words or less and should cover the following: Describe the image(s), symbol(s) or art forms selected; Explain how it was originally developed or used by the community; Reflect on the students own experience about it, including thoughts and feelings; and Suggest why or how it is still relevant today. nativewriters.hklaw
