Winners of AWAI’s June New Writers Contest

Congratulations to the winners of AWAI’s June 2026 new writers contest!

The challenge was to write an 83-word email for DeepSleepEarbuds, a fictitious product that represents a real product you could be writing about.

Readers were given a copywriting brief just like a brief you’d receive from a real client, along with valuable tips for how to write an effective marketing email.

And the three winners are … Elijah Kihuga, Erin Scully, and Hannah Montgomery Moore!

Congratulations to all who took part in the contest!

With so many good entries, narrowing it down to just a few $200 prize winners is never an easy task …

But we truly enjoy recognizing your talent and effort.

Fantastic work — and don’t forget to include your submission in your portfolio!
