Stamford Literary Competition – Encourage the young writers in
your life - your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, students and
friends - by urging them to enter our annual Stamford Literary
Competition, sponsored by the Friends of Ferguson Library and the
Stamford Literary Committee. The goal of the competition is to recognize
excellence in student writing.
Children in grades 3-12
who live, or attend school in Stamford, are invited to submit original
works of fiction, non-fiction or poetry, with a maximum length of 1500
words. All entries must be typed, single spaced, with a 12 point font.
Reach Out and Read – with
Literacy Volunteers and Stamford
Health System. This program uses the power of a supportive relationship
between parents and health care providers to help families support their
children's early literary development. Volunteer to read to children at
the Rehab Center. For more information
