The Nevada County Superintendent of Schools’ annual writing tournament went virtual this year due to the pandemic, resulting in the first Nevada County Creative Writing Competition.
During most years’ tournament, local middle school students are invited to gather at the Miner’s Foundry and compete in informative writing, persuasive writing, and creative writing.
