The Community Writing Project Awards

Each year, in the spring, PWR sponsors its annual Community Writing Project Awards.

Instructors who have taught CWP-designated sections of PWR 1 and/or PWR 2 courses within the previous three quarters (spring and fall of the previous year and winter of the current year) are invited to submit the very best of their students’ community-based projects for judging. Nominations may include CWP projects in all forms (written, multimedia, and/or spoken) that students produce either individually or in collaborative groups. Within each of two categories, one for PWR 1 and one for PWR 2, three prizes may be awarded: Winner, First Runner-Up, and Second Runner-Up. Student winners receive Community Writing Project Awards certificates and $100 each for winning projects, $75 each for first runners-up, and $50 each for second runners-up. Student winners and nominees, their instructors, their community agency mentors, along with friends of students, PWR, and the Community Writing Project are invited in the awards ceremony at the end of the academic year.
