Young people – Just 50 well written words could win you prize.

Your stories of a local experience are wanted.

To celebrate National Storytelling Week our library service has launched a creative writing competition for young people.

Your Story – My Story is the theme of the competition. Libraries are looking for stories of no more than 50 words based on young people’s experiences of their local area and community.

There are two age categories: 7 to 11, and 12 to 16, and the prizes will be goodie bags including books for both the winners and runners-up.

The deadline for entries is Sunday 27 February 2022.

Entries should be sent to ask.library@derbyshire.gov.uk along with the entrant’s name and age, and a contact number or email for their school.
