GENERATION LOCKDOWN WRITING COMPETITION

This is your opportunity to write about your experience in lock down. Until midnight on Friday the 17th of July, you can submit a piece of writing about what life has been like in lock down and during the coronavirus.

This could be a personal experience, a poem, or a creative story. All of you will have had a unique experience that is only yours, and only you can capture in words.

Your entry should be 700 words or under and you should submit in your age category (open for age 7-17).

Your work will then be read by a published author, who will then pick out the five best entries from your age group. These entries will then be included in a book published by John Catt Educational called ‘Generation Lockdown Writes.’

There will also be a range of other prizes for the winning entries, and a special celebratory book launch where you will have the opportunity to meet the authors.
