English Teachers: Submit Student Pieces
by February 1
Teachers may submit poetry, fiction and drama, completed by their  
grade 9-12 students after February 1, 2009, for Michigan Youth Arts  
Festival adjudication.  All work must be submitted by a current member  
of the Michigan Council of Teachers of English, make use of the given  
forms, and arrive in the proper format.  Top students will be invited  
to attend the Michigan Youth Arts Festival and have their work  
published in the 2010 Festival Creative Writing Book.  Download forms  
and guidelines here to be ready after the winter break!

Registration is Open for Summer 2010!
Festival alumni are invited to the inaugural Michigan Youth Arts Trek  
to New York City, July 26-30.

Arts Trek is a travel tour for people with a passion for the arts. It  
allows participants to explore a new city and experience its artistic  
culture first-hand, through tours and performances, but also workshops  
and behind-the-scenes access rarely afforded the casual tourist.

Participation in Arts Trek 2010 is limited to the first 40 Festival  
alums (students, parents or teachers) who sign up.  Download a flyer  
with a complete itinerary, here.  And register today!
