Calling all budding young authors

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to become an author? It’s time to put your writing to the test with a new county-wide competition giving youngsters the opportunity to get their own book printed.

Children who attend Sussex primary and secondary schools can enter the Evonprint Get Kids Writing competition by writing their own short story book on any topic they choose, and the winner will have their creation printed and bound into five beautiful books.

Two winners will be chosen from schools in Sussex – one primary and one secondary – with the competition designed to encourage children to use their imaginations and to develop their story writing skills.

The two winners will also receive a £50 Amazon voucher while their school will receive £75 worth of national book tokens.

To take part email getkidswriting@pmwcom.co.uk.before the Monday 31 October 2016 deadline. Make sure you include the child’s name, age, year group and school name, plus email and phone contact details for the parent/guardian.
