Transcript As Follows: ALISON: Hey everyone—and welcome! You’ve made it to the National Literary Competition Awards Ceremony, hosted by Gallaudet Youth Programs. This Awards Ceremony is all about the work you submitted this year. Some of you wrote. Some of you signed. Some of you did both. All of you took a chance and shared your ideas—and that’s what this competition is about. In the next few minutes, we’ll walk through each category and reveal this year’s honorees and winners. Names will appear on screen, so keep an eye out—you might see yours. Let’s get started FREDDY: We’re starting with Writing. First up: Poetry. Short lines, big ideas, and powerful feelings. Here are the Poetry Honorable Mentions and Winners. (Results are shown on screen) MELISSA: Next is Creative Writing.
