Do you enjoy writing
stories? Would you like to win some great prizes? If the answer is yes, you may be interested
in entering two national creative writing competitions for secondary school
students. You need to be quick though, as the competitions close very
soon! If you are in Year 7 or Year 8 you
may want to use some of the great tips and techniques that Joe Craig introduced
you to when he visited our school.
The National Young Writers’ Awards are open to
students aged 14 and under. The theme is
‘The Mash-up’ and you are encouraged to write a 500 word story that is a
‘mash-up’ of two genres. For example, a
spaceman travelling back to Roman times or your favourite super hero taking on
zombies. The prize is a trip to
Disneyland Paris for you and your family and £500 worth of books for the
school. The closing date is Tuesday 7th
June. For more information and to submit
your entry go to http://www.explorelearning.co.uk/youngwriters.
#Just Write has been launched by BIC, the pen
people. Open to Years 8, 9 and 10, you
have to imagine living in a world without words and write about what that would
be like in no more than 500 words. The competition closes on Monday
6th June. The winning
entry will be published and receive a gift bag and ten other shortlisted
finalists will win an individual gift pack.
