Write On! Contest

CFUW-London invites children to submit original stories to "WRITE ON ! "

The contest is the 2^nd Annual Story Contest co-sponsored by The London Free Press and invites children fifteen years and under to write creatively and submit their stories to us.

Entries can be mailed:
c/o THE LONDON FREE PRESS,
P.O. BOX 3000,
369 YORK STREET,
LONDON, ONTARIO, N6A 4H9.

Send your entries with entry information as required in our ballot also by e-mail. Entries will be received during February up to and including February 29, 2008.

Stories should not exceed the required number of words: Junior ages 9 and under, 400 maximum, and Senior ages 10 to 15 maximum 600. Only stories will be accepted.

Prizes: Junior @ Senior: First prize $100, Second prize $75 and Third Prize $50. The prizes will be awarded at the CFUW-London Banquet May 14, 2008.

The emphasis is on creative writing. We ask children to use their imaginative skills. CFUW encourages literacy and with our major sponsor, The London Free Press, reaches out to children in London and Region to take on our challenge.

Published stories in a major newspaper can be a platform for the next generation to launch their academic skills.

We look forward to the entries of 2008 and anticipate a new vision of our Canadian literary landscape from the youth of London and Region.
