Young People’s Writing Competition

Our 2017 writing competition for young people celebrated the 80th birthday of the publication of Arthur Ransome’s classic children’s book We didn’t mean to go to sea. We were overwhelmed with both the quantity and quality of the entries and judging was not easy! We have partnered with Suffolk Libraries to produce these winning stories as a short story e-book collection which you can access HERE.

We are extremely grateful to Upfront Productions who have supported this competition financially and allowed us to provide wonderful prizes to our winners.
