Grand Erie Writers Recognized in Laurier Stedman Competition

THURSDAY, JUN. 20, 2024

Seven Grand Erie students have been recognized in the 2024 Laurier Stedman Prize competition.
Every two years, students across the region have the opportunity to submit an original short story to be considered to win the prize, which awards funds to the top six writers and a merchandise prize for the top 10. Submissions are evaluated by a jury of Laurier faculty members, staff, students as well as past Laurier Stedman Prize winners.
