Winning words - Positive Writing Competition

We’re delighted to announce the winners of our Positive Words Writing Competition. We had lots of really wonderful entries, a huge well done to everyone who took part.

The competition invited creative approaches and forms, with the only stipulation being that the writing should uplift the reader – and they certainly did. Reading them put a huge smile on our faces and that of our special guest judge, journalist and writer Emma Lee Potter.

We’re delighted to announce the winner, and three runners up today.

Over the next four days we will be publishing each of their pieces, which we hope will put smiles on your faces too.

The Winner is:

Madeleine Baber! Y11

Runners up:

2nd place: Lewis Murphy Y11

3rd place: Cavan King Y10 and Emelia Helliwell Y7

The winner receives £60 of Amazon vouchers. The second place runner up receives £20 of Amazon vouchers, and the two third place runners up each receive £10 Amazon vouchers.
