The competition winners were: Brianne Young, Montpelier, first place, “Like a Filthy Library with Naught to Borrow”; Lydia Evinger, Defiance, runner-up, “Contradictions: What It Means to Be a Woman in the 21st Century”; Keaton Brodbeck, Archbold, third place, “Down In That Place Where Only the Gods May Sleep”.
