Next Tuesday sees the prize-giving for the Isle of Wight Winter Story Competition and some super prizes have been announced today.
The competition, organised by the Wight Fair Writers’ Circle, can also boast some great authors confirmed to present the prizes.
At a time when we’re being told by the Government that it’s hard to get young boys to write, five of the eight under 12s who are prize-winners in this competition are boys (all from Nodehill School, as are the girls).
Proceeds from the competition are going to the Love Russia Charity, The Multiple Sclerosis Society and The Barely Born Appeal and the winning stories will be published on VentnorBlog, Wight Fair Writers Website and the CP Website.
If you’ve taken part and are in the running for a prize, check out the list below.
