We have just received this press release from Puffin and we know there are heaps of keen budding authors out there (especially after our Scribbles to Books New Zealand Book Month Events last week). So check out the website.
The Puffin Short Story Awards are back for 2011! We had some amazing entries last year and are looking forward to receiving another huge blast of creativity from our nation's future writers in the coming months. There are three entry categories spanning school years four to eleven and the winner in each category will receive an Apple iPad as well as 50 books for their school library!
Last year's winning stories and everything you need to get started are available on the webpage, so click the link and start getting creative!
Happy writing,
The Team at Puffin
As you will see from the website there are categories for Junior, Intermediate and Secondary school students, with fantastic prizes for both the author and their schools. Entries are now open and close on Friday 3rd June. The competition is held in partnership with The Storylines Children's Literature Charitable Trust and winners are announced at the Storylines Festival Day in August.
