Ask a question. Tell a story. Solve a problem. Raise awareness. Research. Explore. Connect. We want to celebrate how you are helping tell Appalachia’s story.
The Writing Appalachia Contest invites brief scholarly essays, short creative works, editorials, how-to manuals, engaging research reports, science blogs, or any other written text that focuses on Appalachia in some way. This contest is open to current WVU undergraduate students. We are especially interested in submissions that speak to your sense of purpose as a Mountaineer.
When is the contest held?
The Writing Appalachia Contest is held each fall during Mountaineer Week. Announcements are made through the SpeakWrite and Mountaineer Week websites and social media. Follow us to ensure you don't miss out!

The contest is open to current WVU undergraduate students. When the contest opens, the submission form can be accessed by using your WVU Mix email address. Check the Mountaineer Week website for the submission prompt and details at mountaineerweek.wvu.edu.
