Each year the Nicholls Reading Council locally sponsors a Young Authors Contest. The contest is open to all students K-12. First-place entries from each school, in the categories of Fiction, Nonfiction and Poetry, are sent to the Nicholls Reading Council for judging. All of those selected as first-place entries by the council are then sent for judging at the state level. Students are given a trophy, sponsored each year by M C Bank, and a gift bag, annually sponsored by Houma Target. Supporting teachers receive a gift card sponsored by Morgan City Walmart Neighborhood Market. Nicholls Reading Council member Kay Arceneaux assisted with recognition of students, along with photos by Natalie Duval, secretary of the Nicholls Reading Council
