JEA is teaming up with Write the World, a writing and publishing platform for young people across the globe, to co-host an op-ed writing competition that opens March 5.

Write the World is dedicated to improving the writing of high school students through a global online community and guided interactive process. Young writers are empowered to develop their voices, refine their editing skills, and publish on an international platform. Write the World helps students develop the writing strategies and communication tools essential for success in school, career, and life.

The competition is open to young writers anywhere in the world and is free to enter. Since our young journalists know how to write strong opinion pieces, I hope many of our members will encourage our students to enter. The winning entry receives $100.
