Senior Citizens Article Writing Competition
The Inkstone Project invites high school students across the country to participate in our Senior Citizens Article Writing Competition. Participating is a chance to share the stories of elders, gain experience through journalism, and potentially win scholarships.
This competition is designed to support intergenerational relationships between high schoolers and elders, while uplifting the voices of older adults through student-written essays.
Ultimately, after the competition ended, participants came from 7 countries, and created a total of 50+ articles sharing unique senior stories!
