major writing awards are great, but I don’t think they’re very necessary to show a passion for writing. getting published in even the smallest literary magazine outside of your school really shows that you’re willing to send out your work and have it critiqued, and, once it’s published, shows that other people think it has merit. writers who can’t deal with the stress of being published/rejected really will never survive in the “real world” of writing, so sending your work out definitely shows a higher maturity level
