Whitewater Creative Writing Festival
Award Winners - 2017
Each year, students in Palatine’s creative composition courses have the opportunity to enter their writing in the University of Wisconsin/Whitewater’s Creative Writing Festival. The day-long festival includes workshops in several different genres of writing, led by professional writers who critique and judge each student’s work, and culminates in an awards ceremony. This year, Palatine is proud to have five student award winners!
