Annual Writing Contest
An important aspect of NJALL's work is recognizing and celebrating the
accomplishments of lifelong learners. Our annual Adult Learner Writing Contest
spotlights the writing, poetry, photography and art from our adult learners. Winners
receive a cash prize, a certificate and a printed copy of the contest magazine.
Some of the learners also present their work at the annual conference.
The magazine includes the work of all of the winners and selected
other submissions. Magazines for each year's contest can be accessed at
these links:
For the 2026, three videos also won awards. You can access them here.
First Place: The New Jersey You Don't Notice
Second Place: Turning My Bedroom Wall Into a Peaceful Mountain View
Third Place: Yellowstone National Park
