We invite you to write about what courage means to you. This is an open topic. Writing ideas include times that courage is needed to grow, change, or create. What does it mean to be courageous? Who in history has shown courage, and what sparked their actions? Where do we need more courage in today's world, or looking towards the future? In what ways do you wish you—or the world—had more courage? Additional writing prompts and resources will be provided to the Young Online Writer’s League through the Discord app.

The contest is hosted annually and is sponsored in part by Greater Valdosta United Way, the Georgia Council for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, Snake Nation Press, and the Valdosta Daily Times.

Are you a youth who longs to write? Do you have a story to tell? Join us for the Young Online Writers League! Students write poetry and prose, growing comfortable as they learn how to discuss one another's work, hone skills with varied exercises, and gain insight into their writing abilities as each one finds their unique writing voice. Regular writing prompts and thought provokers are shared online using Discord. Regular meetings are offered in both online and face-to-face formats.
