STORY COMPETITION

WINNER – The Annual Holiday Argument by Evelyn Dalzell

Really resonated with the judges, who enjoyed the running gag. It had a good storytelling structure and lots of memorable moments. The use of the adult voice remembering childhood memories and its honesty were both strengths. Collecting bottles is reminiscent of many people’s childhoods.

MERIT – A Night Encounter by Diane Bargas Rees
