Children For Change Young Writers Competition
Pop Up Projects and The Week Junior are inviting young writers to write a story or poem for inclusion in their forthcoming book, Children for Change.
Children For Change is a collection of stories, illustrations and facts inspiring young readers to ‘take an action’ – big or small, local or global – to protect the environment. Launching on October 7th as part of UN World Habitat Day, the ebook anthology will be free to download for every child and in every primary school in the UK.
Over 60 of the UK’s favourite children’s writers and illustrators are contributing to Children For Change, including Liz Pichon; multi award-winning author of Boy Everywhere, AM Dassu; Axel Scheffler; Katie and Kevin Tsang; Rob Biddulph; former Blue Peter presenter and author of the Cookie series, Konnie Huq; and Charlie Higson.
Ten young writers aged 8 to 12 will win the chance to have their story or poem included in the collection. Their stories or poems should inspire other children to think about the things they can do to help the planet and will be judged by Konnie Huq, Vanessa Harriss, editor of The Week Junior and Dylan Calder, director of Pop Up Projects.
The closing date is Friday 12th July. Find out more and submit entries.
