I would like to bring to your attention the following National level competitions, which run alongside the Schools competitions we currently enter in Singing, Verse Speaking and Instrumental.

A scene from Scottish History or from a Burns song or poem.

Art may be a painting, or drawing using any medium, excluding computer generated images. Artwork should be no greater than A3 in size.

Competition 2 – Writing in Scots Language

The content should be about Robert Burns or any poem, animal or event in his works and may be written in any of the languages of Scotland. Pupils are invited to write a short story no more than A4 size and 300-500 words in length. The work may be handwritten, or computer generated and should be signed by the entrant as their own work.
