Please don't give me the names of contests that ask for fees. Whether or not it is specifically for teens doesn't matter. I can write short stories, stories, and essays. I don't have much experience in writing plays or poems, but please include them anyway if possible. I'm a high school student if that helps. Whether or not the deadline is over doesn't matter. Research papers or how ____ has changed my life aren't exactly my strong points.
I already know about the
Kaplan Essay Contest
Signet contest for classics
Ayn Rand essay contest
National High School Essay Contest
Could you include the policies regarding submitted work if possible?
If you include the link that directly leads to the page on how the requirements and how to enter, that would be helpful.

go to your local library. they should have tons of contests for you. if they don't they usually have an email list. that means if they do hear about a writing contest, they'll email or contact you in some way.
you could always ask your teachers. teachers should have plenty of contests they've heard of!
