The W-Challenge is an annual writing competition hosted by the North Dakota State University First-Year and Upper-Division Writing Programs, which are housed in the Department of English.

Undergraduate students submit works in six categories: academic writing; professional, technical and scientific writing; everyday writing; creative writing; writing in foreign languages; and multimodal writing. 

​

Now in its 5th year, the W-Challenge recognizes students for the high quality and originality of writing that they produce during their undergraduate careers. Please follow the links below to read some of the winning submissions! 

​

Many thanks to every student who submitted their work (we had more than 150 submissions this year!), and congratulations to all of our winners!
