for homeschoolers

2022 Sower & Harvest
Short Story Prizes

The competition was open to current homeschool students. Prizes were awarded to all winners.

A Note From the Founders

 

Many have experienced trials and tribulations over the last two years. As our nation experiences dramatic shifts, the God-fearing, Bible-studying, homeschooling families who never faltered throughout the education of their children proved to be the encouragement, hope, and light our world needs today.

Thank you, parents, for encouraging your children to participate in our contest as you continue to labor over your harvest.

Our contest participants, through their literary work, demonstrated the hope and cognizance our world needs. We thank you sincerely for your participation and hope the experience offered you a renewed satisfaction and a greater passion for literary creative work.

To our faithful sponsors—who have continued to show their support for this contest and recognize the value of such an endeavor—our sincerest thanks to you. We look forward to working with you in the future once again.

Now, it is with great excitement and pleasure that we present to you the winners of the 2022 Sower & Harvest Short Story Prizes!
