Enter The Lake Superior Writers’ 2021 Contest

You don't need a degree or certificate to call yourself or event be a writer.  Some of the best writers that I know have zero formal training and create art through words as a hobby or even as a career.  If you have the gift of writing in any style, there are many avenues to share that art, especially in the age of the internet.
