    Pick the genre that best describes your novel. If you're unsure, consider looking at genre descriptions in Novel Critiques on the Student Forum.
  • Synopsis

  • Include a one- to two-paragraph synopsis for your novel. Feel free to use the synopsis you created during the first semester. This synopsis will appear with your novel in the showcase listing.
  • File

  • Accepted file types: pdf, Max. file size: 49 MB.
  • Author Affirmation:

  • My entry for the 2025 One Year Adventure Novel Student Contest is attached. The book I am submitting is an original novel of my own creation for which I own the copyright. You have my permission to post it with the synopsis above on your Student Forum, and/or post the title and synopsis on your website, until I ask you to remove it. I agree to respect the decision of the judge(s).
  • Third-person POV Affirmation:

  • If this is your second or later OYAN novel, you are permitted to write in third-person point of view (POV). YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE SUBMITTED YOUR FIRST NOVEL TO THE CONTEST. The only requirement is that you have written a first-person novel with OYAN before this novel. If the above is the case, have your parent or guardian sign: "I verify that my student has completed an OYAN novel in first-person and is thus eligible to submit this third-person novel to the OYAN Student Contest."
