Westerville students can submit original written work to the 2022 Celebrate the Arts Writing Contest sponsored by the Arts Council of Westerville, Westerville Public Library and the ThisWeek Westerville News & Public Opinion newspaper. The entry deadline is March 1.

Writers of all ages from across Central Ohio are invited to share their works in the writing contest, which is part of the annual celebration of the Arts in Westerville every April. This is the 16th year of the contest. 

First-place winners in each category will have their works published in an issue of ThisWeek Westerville News & Public Opinion newspaper. Because all approved entries are printed in a compilation book, each writer becomes a published author. The 20 winners receive a complimentary copy of the book thanks to the support of the Friends of the Westerville Public Library. A copy is purchased by the library and made available for checkout.
