This year’s Gozo Live Gozo College award writing competition is in full swing. The organisers said that students attending any school in Gozo are invited to enter a poem, a story, an essay or a play on one of two themes.
The first theme must contain the idea of hope in some form. The entry does not necessarily have to contain the word hope, just the idea is enough. The second theme is about a funny villain – this could be about anyone who is doing something wrong and is funny.
Students can also enter a fantasy story or a poem on any subject for a special prize.
The organisers said that there are generous prizes to be won for all ages. Judges take the age of the student into account, so everyone has a chance of winning.
Entries can be typed or neatly handwritten. They should be different and original. “We are looking for the most creative writing so let your imagination run wild.”
Entries can be emailed in Word format to gozolive2018@gmail.com [1] or posted to Gozo Live, 21A Gnien Xibla, Xaghra, Gozo. Closing date is the 26th of April. The full rules are available from the same email address.
Schools are invited to collect entries and send them in batches. Individual entries are also welcome, the organisers said.
