DSJ Proudly Presents: Second Annual Short Story Competition for Grades 7-12

The anticipation among students is palpable as they eagerly prepare to unleash their creativity and showcase their writing prowess. Nearly all submissions have been made, with students uploading their short stories to an online platform for easy access.

This year, we're excited to announce that our short story entries will be featured on the Gramedia Writing Project (GWP) website, granting them broader exposure. Now, not only can our students enjoy these captivating tales, but so can you, immersing yourselves in their narratives.

Our decision to utilize this website was deliberate, as it is a writing platform affiliated with the esteemed Kompas Gramedia Group. Beyond public consumption, students' writings stand the chance to capture the attention of Kompas Gramedia editors. Should a story captivate their interest, it may even be published by Gramedia Publisher.

We invite you to savor our collection of short stories and encourage you to provide feedback, comments, and star ratings on the website for stories you enjoy.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the competition winners following the Indonesian theater performance Raden Pisang Biru on June 27th, 2024, hosted in DSJ's auditorium.
