The Orinda Junior Women's Club, which organizes Youth Ink, an annual creative writing contest open to all sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students who live in or attend school in Orinda, sponsored by the Orinda Community Foundation, Friends of the Orinda Library and the Lamorinda Arts Council, held its awards ceremony April 19 at the Orinda Library Auditorium. The Youth Ink 2018 prompt, "My World," was chosen because it encompasses almost limitless potential for subject matter, thereby encouraging young writers to personalize their pieces. Entrants were encouraged to write about anything they liked: real or imaginary, but did not have to adhere to the prompt.
Katie Walsh, president of OJWC gave the welcome speech and presented the awards, Elizabeth Perlman, founder and executive director of The Intuitive Writing Project, was the guest speaker, and Lin Look spoke on behalf of the Orinda Library. Winners and honorable mentions received certificates and their prizes, and got the opportunity to read their pieces in front of the audience.
