WICKED Young Writers' Award
The Wicked Young Writers' Award has been established to recognise excellence
in writing, encourage creativity and help develop writing talent in young
people, according to its promoters.
Any young person across the UK between the ages of 5 and 25 years old
is eligible to enter.
There will be the opportunity to enter into five different age categories:
5-7 years old
8-10 years old
11-13 years old
14-16 years old
17-25 years old.
An individual Gregory Maguire Award is specifically designed for young
people aged between 17 and 25 years and encourages entries that, in the
same style as Gregory Maguire's novels, takes a well-known story and examines
it from a different perspective.
One overall young writer will be chosen as a winner from each age category
and will receive:
Four tickets to see the London production of WICKED with their family
and an opportunity to meet cast members after the show; a WICKED writing
master class from one of the celebrity author judges.
All 100 winning entries will be published in an anthology of the WICKED
Young Writers' Award 2010.
The top 20 winning entries from each age category will be invited to an
autumn prize ceremony to be held at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre
Entries must be no longer than 750 words.
More than 250,000 pupils have seen WICKED as it enters into its fourth
year at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre
Closing date for entries is July 31, 2010.
