A Grayson County Middle School student has won a statewide writing contest.
Sixth grader Lucy Mudd won the 2024 KET Young Writer’s Contest for her short story entitled, “The Circus,” according to Grayson County Schools.
Lucy’s story is the tale of a girl’s journey through twists and turns during a day at a circus and leaves the protagonist and reader alike pondering if it was all real – or a dream.
The story will be released soon on the KET website.
Lucy’s story was selected as the state’s best from among over 1,400 entries.
KET and its partners, Western Kentucky University, Bellarmine University and Murray State University, judged the contest.
Lucy submitted her piece through Teresa Blain’s language arts class, and was awarded a $200 Amazon gift card for her first place honors.
She is the daughter of Nancy and Daniel Mudd.
