A friend on Facebook sent me a link to a writing contest that looks interesting. Called Young Writers for Adoption, the competition is open to youths who are adopted and/or their siblings.
The contest is broken down into age categories and involves cash prizes:
Four age divisions:

Cash awards for winners in each age division:
