​Please read the General Guidelines below and the further information about each type of submission. Submissions

should be made to tildesley20@gmail.com by Friday 9th May 2025. There are book token prizes to be won!

​

General Guidelines

• Schools may submit up to 10 entries per Key Stage, with this 10 being a combination across the formats if preferred. 

• All entries should be by individual students, not groups.

• Each school, or home-educator, needs to submit an entry form, with their entry.

• Only first names and initials (e.g. Catherine T) should appear on the pupils’ work. This is as the winning entries may be published on our website. If you do not want your pupils’ work to be published, please note this clearly on the entry form.

• Following the judging process, schools and/or parents will be notified of successful entrants and prize tokens will be awarded accordingly. We aim to have at least one 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each category, but this changes year on year according to the numbers of entries. Please note that judges will try to give individual feedback, but this may not always be possible due to the number of entries.

• Key Stage specifications are: Key Stage 2  = Years 3 to 6 or equivalent (age 7 – 11); Key Stage 3 = Years 7 – 9 or equivalent (age 11 – 14).

​

Categories

• Creative Writing

This can be a short story, a play, a retelling, a poem or any other creative written response.  There is a word limit of 500 words and it should be submitted as a Word document; please note that scanned handwritten pieces will not be judged.

• Art

This can be a painting, a sculpture in any material, a collage or any other artistic endeavour.  Please submit as a .jpeg, with views of all angles if necessary.

• Animation

This can be silent, spoken or sung! It can be animated or use, for example, PlayMobil figures or home-made puppets. It should not use real people.  Please submit as a YouTube link to an unlisted video. Whilst we will endeavour to access any we are sent in different formats, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

If you have any queries please contact Catherine at tildesley20@gmail.com. Good Luck to all entrants!

A reminder that the closing deadline is Friday 9th May 2025
