"Having judged entries for several years now, I am always delighted to read the wide range of ideas, styles and writing techniques used by young writers. This year offers another splendid mix of pieces, showing thoughtful interpretations of visual images to communicate ideas, ask questions and tell stories. Well done to all and, as always, it isn’t easy to select single winners when everyone has made an impressive effort to write sensitively and ‘have a go’." John Townsend, Children’s Author
