Greater Dane Anthology Project

The Greater Dane Anthology Project is a writing and cartooning contest for students in grades 5-8. School districts/students must be a part of the Greater Dane County Advanced Learners Network to participate.  All participating districts are expected to help with judging. Students may enter pieces in any of these categories: Cartoons, Persuasive Writing, Poetry, Creative Writing/Narrative, or Art. Entries may be submitted in either Spanish or English.
