The Raymond Andrews Prize for Creative Writing was launched in the 2019-2020 academic year. It is a competition for high school students in Morgan County. Entries are read blind by a reader pool of community members, educators and graduate students. That pool of readers chooses finalists, which are passed along to a celebrity guest judge. The guest judge selects placement from the group of finalists.
