Re: Montana History Portal Writing Contest

Get your story writing skills ready! The Montana History Portal is hosting its 4th Annual Historical Picture Prompt contest. Using any photo in the Portal collection as a story prompt, participants will write a fictional short story (650 words or less) and enter through their Submission Form. Winners will be chosen from grades 3-6, grades 7-12 and adult. The deadline to enter is February 23, 2024.
Where to begin? Browse the photo collection to find an interesting photo. Once you've found an image save the link to that image—you'll need it when submitting your story.
They will be announcing great prizes for this contest soon, and very much hope you will participate and spread the word.
Looking for hints on how to find photos on specific topics? I provided instructions on how to narrow searches on the Montana Memory Portal here.
And stay tuned for the Portal's annual meme contest, which typically takes place in May.
