Top ten National Young Writers’ entries!

June 20, 2016

We had over 10,000 entries to our National Young Writers’ Awards this year, and we were really impressed by the nation’s story-writing skills! Here, we reveal the top ten finalists…

There were so many fantastic entries which made our job of whittling them down to just ten finalists very difficult. But after reading the stories from the below young writers, we knew there was a possible winner among them.

We’re delighted to reveal the names of the finalists (in no particular order) – well done to all of you!
