A New Creative Writing Competition for Budding Writers (Ages 7–12)
In a recent assembly, I announced the new 2025 National Young Writers Creative Writing Competition.
The girls were invited to take part in “The Adventures of…”, a fun challenge where they can create a mini saga—a complete story told in up to 100 words.
All they need to do is decide who or what their story is about.
It could be:
• A historical figure
• A book or video game character
• An animal
• Even themselves!
They can choose any format:
• A story
• A recount
• A diary entry
• A letter
• Or ‘a day in the life of…’
Many girls have already spoken to me about entering, and some have even submitted their entries!
If your daughter is interested but hasn’t started yet, she may like to use the Online Writing Portal. The girls can type their story directly into the portal, and I will then lock it in and send it to Young Writers.
Submit via the Online Writing Portal: https://www.youngwriters.co.uk/w?code=181882-724
Closing Date: Friday, 19th December 2025
