A life-altering lesson: Student short story contest winners
In 700 words or fewer, we asked you to write a short story about a life-altering lesson that transformed the world your character(s) inhabit - and you truly delivered! With so many incredible submissions, choosing just three winners was no easy task.
On Tuesday, April 14, we hosted a reception in the New Westminster Campus foyer, where students had the chance to share their stories aloud with an engaged audience. The event also offered a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow writers and our panel of judges.
We’re excited to publish the winners of our third annual Student Writing Contest:
