ABOUT YGA

The annual Young Georgia Authors (YGA) Writing Competition is a statewide contest that inspires Georgia students of all ages to create original works from any genre, whether in the form of a poem, a newspaper article, a short story, a research project, or any other kind of writing the student enjoys. The student's writing is initially judged within his or her own school system or district, and all first place grade level winners are then submitted to the Georgia Department of Education. The first place system writings are grouped according to grade level and RESA district. Finally, a panel of judges from across Georgia meets to determine the first place grade level winners for each RESA district as well as the first place grade level winners for the state.
