ABOUT THE BEST OF THE OYWA COLLECTION 2023:

The beautiful Okanagan Valley has long inspired talented creatives from around the region. The Okanagan Young Writers’ Awards promote excellence in writing at the high school and early college level. Through this competition we recognize outstanding writing achievement by the region’s youth aged 14-19!
