The Greater Seattle Bureau of Fearless Ideas is a corps of youth and adults, staff and volunteers, families, and local citizens who believe that the power of words, well-written and well-spoken, can open doors to important opportunities. Their tutoring, writing, and publishing programs prepare young people, ages six to eighteen, for a successful future by developing strong writing skills, championing diverse communication styles, and motivating young people to share their stories. Programs at each Fearless Ideas Center reach into the surrounding neighborhood to involve adults and businesses in helping youth become engaged citizens and confident leaders. All programs are free and open to families from any socio-economic background. Visitors can enter through their storefront, the Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co.

We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
