Colorado students were honored at the twelfth annual Student Literary Awards at the Denver Public Library on Wednesday May 11, 2016. The winning students, surrounded by parents, family members, teachers and educators from across the state, were recognized for their literary or artistic achievements in two national competitions presented by the Library of Congress:
River of Words contestants create art and poetry about the role of watersheds and the environment in our lives.
Letters About Literature participants write a personal letter to an author about how their book changed their perspective on the world.
Colorado Humanities and its program department, Colorado Center for the Book, administer the program at the state level. "This year's increased participation shows we're offering K-12 programs that challenge the creativity and critical thinking skills of young people," said Josephine Jones, Colorado Humanities & Center for the Book Director of Programs. "The quality of work submitted continues to improve in each year of the competition."
