CHRISTMAS WRITING COMPETITION
Following the success of our writing competition last Christmas, we are delighted to be launching again for 2022.
With a range of wonderful reading-related prizes up for grabs, as well as the coveted SWEIC certificates, we hope that practitioners across all ages and stages will get their young people inspired to create a submission. This year we are thinking about the world around us and would encourage young people to explore the idea of an alternative Christmas. This could be interpreted in many different ways but our judges are looking forward to reading them all.
