Composition Awards
Each year the English Department showcases outstanding student writing in two venues: (1) College Composition at Miami (CCM), a book featuring student writing and information about College Composition at Miami and (2) the College Composition Web site. In these venues, the College Composition Program publishes English Department Award compositions as well as other exemplary models of student writing. Compositions submitted may be from English 108, 109, 111, 112, or H101 courses.
The Awards Committee considers exemplary student writing in the following categories:
- Rhetorical, Literary, or Cultural Analysis Award (sponsored by MU Bookstore)
- Persuasive / Research-Based Argument Award
- Digital / Multimedia Composition Award (sponsored by Bedford St. Martins)
- Reflective Narrative Award
- International Student Award (for essay from 108 or 109)
All award winners will receive at least $100 (distributed either as a check or as a bookstore gift certificate).
The deadline for awards submissions is March 1st. The deadline for submissions for publication consideration (CCM and Web) is the last class day of spring semester. Award-winning compositions are automatically published in CCM and/or online at www.muohio.edu/composition. All other submissions, including remaining awards entries, are considered by the CCM Editorial Staff for publication.
