Charleston Literary Festival Young Writer Awards The Charleston Literary Festival's Young Writers Awards seeks to elevate teen voices while supporting their talents and providing the encouragement needed to be lifelong creators. The Awards align with South Carolina ELA State Standards and are open to 9th - 12th grade students currently enrolled in a Charleston County public school. The Awards offer opportunities for recognition of teachers and students, cash prizes, and participation in Literary Festival events. The Literary Festival wishes that the recognition received will show young authors that their voices are valuable and provide them with a launchpad for careers centered in the literary arts. Three works are selected for each of the three categories, for a total of nine awards. The selected young authors will receive a cash prize, be invited to present their work at a Literary Festival event, and their work will be published on the festival's website. Teachers of award-winning students will receive tickets to a select number of Festival events.
