The Northern Kentucky Area High School Creative Writing Contest is a special outreach program that seeks to foster a greater interest in the literary arts and to recognize area student achievements.  It is open to all Northern Kentucky Area high school students. The contest awards cash prizes and certificates of achievement for First ($100), Second ($75), and Third Prize ($50) in Poetry, Fiction and the Personal Essay.
