Each year at our Writing.Com Convention, we hold a "Creative Auction" to raise scholarship funds for the following year's attendees. Every attendee is required to bring one item that is "creative" in some way: handmade, assembled, written, framed, painted, found, bought or thought!

All money raised during our Creative Auctions helps bring even more attendees to the next convention. We and next year's attendees sincerely thank this year's bringers and bidders!
