Subject: [LIT] Writing Contest?

I was thinking of sponsoring a writing contest for my students so they
can have the motivation of a different audience. I thought I would ask
the local newspaper if they would be interested in publishing some
"winners."  Has anyone done this type of thing? I am wondering about
catagoties...Editorial, short story, poetry, humor. I would like to
see some end of the year excitement on writing for someone other than
me!
