Writing Contest

Writing contest begins for high schoolers with hearing loss

High school students with hearing loss in 10th and 11th grade can compete in the second annual SpiRIT Writing Contest, sponsored by Rochester Institute of Technology's National Technical Institute for the Deaf.

Winners have their choice of a scholarship and paid travel expenses to Explore Your Future, a week-long summer career exploration program at RIT for students with hearing loss, or a $500 cash prize and all-expenses-paid two-day visit with a parent to RIT.

Teachers are asked to help their students participate by submitting samples of their students' writing. Samples of class work may include essays, reports, poems or short stories, as well as other samples.
