THE INTERNATIONAL WRITING OLYMPICS has come to Ukraine!

This creative writing contest, coordinated by Peace Corps Volunteers in several countries, is a great way to encourage pupils [forms 6-11] and university students [years 1-4] to use English in a fun and interesting way. Writing will be judged on creativity of ideas more than perfection of mechanics.
Across Ukraine, IWO essays are already written!  Next, here are the most important dates to remember.
March 4– school winners chosen and announced locally
March 11– school winners submitted to oblast coordinators for judging
March 18– oblast winners chosen, announced by oblast coordinators, submitted to national judges
April 1– national winners chosen, notified by email, results posted on this website
*April 8– national winners submitted for international judging
*April 18– international winners announced

Congratulations to Vinnytska Oblast International Writing Olympics winner Vita Zelenska, of Vinnitsya State Pedagogical University! Vita's essay was chosen to continue on to national competition, and we wish her the best!
