Bookfest Writing Competition 2024

For this year’s writing competition we invited submissions from children aged 7-13 on the theme of space and exploration, in celebration of World Space Week which coincided with Bookfest.  We were delighted to receive 200+ entries from more than 10 different schools.  Our judges were extremely impressed with the variety of writing styles and forms and the incredible imaginations of the children.
