2011 Hibiscus Coast Writers - Year 5&6 Competition Winners

Hibiscus Coast Writers’

2011 Hibiscus Coast Schools Children’s Writing Competition

A huge congratulations to all the children who contributed to our annual Hibiscus Coast Schools Writing competition - we wish we could publish all of their submissions.  Unfortunately, there can only be one overall winner of the Val Shearer Memorial Trophy, and this year we've introduced four additional prize sections, i.e:  Poetry, Non-Fiction, Fiction and Illustration.  Commended pieces of writing will also receive a copy of our
publication.


 C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S  and thank you so much for participating, your contributions are greatly appreciated - we sure had a tough task judging them!
