2022 Henrietta Branford Writing Competition Open For Entries

By Leave a Comment

Call for entries: 2022 Henrietta Branford Writing Competition

For young people who enjoy writing stories!

 

Finish a story started by Branford Boase Award winner

Struan Murray

 

The Henrietta Branford Writing Competition, the annual competition for young people which runs in conjunction with the Branford Boase Award, is now open.

The Henrietta Branford Writing Competition aims to find and encourage writers of the future, something Henrietta Branford was always keen to do.

Anyone under the age of 19 can enter the competition. Entrants are invited to finish this story begun by last year’s Branford Boase Award winner, author of thrilling fantasy adventure Orphans of the Tide, Struan Murray:

Dad’s gone out for the night and I’m alone at home for the first time. I should be doing homework, but I’ve got the television on, staring out the window into the garden. The moon paints the swaying oak tree silver, a cat stalks mice from its branches. There’s fireworks crackling up on the hill; green, red, purple.

It happens all at once. The television stalls, paused on the newsreader. The oak stops swaying, the cat is frozen mid-pounce. A firework hangs in the sky. I stand up, search about, feel my heart race. I look out the window, and I spot it, beyond the bushes.

Something is moving in the garden.

Competition judge, Prue Goodwin has this special advice for young entrants, ‘After you have read the starter passage, take some time to think. This writing is not a piece of schoolwork, it won’t be marked by the judges, just read to be enjoyed as a good story.

Read the starter again. Don’t go for the obvious. Remember, you are in charge of choosing how you carry on with your story. Your imagination can go in any direction you want. Try to make the final version as original as possible. The ‘starter’ is there to help you get going, so use it to take your ideas wherever you want. Ask yourself, “Will my story grab a judge’s attention? Make them laugh or cry?” Do you want to entertain, provoke or scare your readers? Your story can be exciting, funny, moving, adventurous, frightening – whatever you want. Enjoy writing, and good luck!’

Each story should be no longer than 1000 words, should have a title and connect to the starter paragraph. All entrants must live in the UK and be under 19 years of age.

Please send your stories to: anne.marley805@gmail.com

Please mark your entries Henrietta Branford Writing Competition 2022 and be sure to include your name, address, contact details and age. It would be a good idea to give it a title as well. Teachers, if you are collating children’s entries, please include your name, the name and address of your school and your contact details as well as the names and ages of the young authors. If you can send it as a Word document, that would be great, but otherwise you can cut and paste it into your email to me. Please do not send as a PDF.

The winners will receive signed copies of each of the books shortlisted for the 2022 Branford Boase Award.

The closing date for the competition is Sunday 22 May 2022.

By Leave a Comment

This week John Agard became the first poet to receive BookTrust’s Lifetime Achievement Award. The award celebrates the body of work of an author and/or illustrator who has made an outstanding contribution to children’s literature. The judges highlighted John’s persistence and creativity in championing and challenging the language norms that too often dominate literature and the curriculum, as well as his ability to connect with children.

On receiving the award, John Agard said, “It means a lot to be given this award by BookTrust – an organisation which treasures books and tries to make them part of a life-enhancing experience for a child. It excites me that I’m the first poet to win. I feel happy that I’ve stuck with this craft since I was a 16-year-old boy writing in a classroom in a Caribbean ex-colony. It’s not just me receiving this award, but all the people that inspired me. People like my teacher Father Maxwell, the people who published my books, those who contributed to my journey way back in the Caribbean, and John Arlott, the legendary cricket commentator who inspired me with his words.”

The judges for the 2021 BookTrust Lifetime Achievement Award were:

  • journalist Nicolette Jones (chairing),
  • CEO of BookTrust Diana Gerald
  • children’s author Piers Torday
  • screenwriter and novelist Frank Cottrell-Boyce
  • Teaching Fellow at UCL Institute of Education Darren Chetty
  • Candy Gourlay, award winning author of Tall Story and Shine
