Welcome to the Book Arts Bash, a writing contest for homeschooled authors. The Book Arts Bash celebrates untrammeled creativity, and promotes the integration of writing across the curriculum. We put homeschooled students' best work on the desks of literary agents, best-selling authors, and other industry professionals, to encourage young writers and connect great minds. Our first Book Arts Bash happened in fall of 2008. You can visit that contest's site here to view the winners and take a look at our impressive list of judges. We had such an overwhelming number of novels submitted last time that in 2010 we decided to focus on novels only. Now the contest is over, and we're so glad we did. The judges and panelists were overwhelmed by the quality of submissions, and the dedication and talent of our homeschooled authors. Submissions began: November 1, 2009 Deadline for entries: January 15, 2010 Finalists announced: February 14, 2010 Winners announced: April 1, 2010 Novels were judged in ten separate age groups:
