Doncaster: Discover the Spirit

We had two different competitions running this year: a Creative Writing competition (see below) and a Slogan Writing competition, as well as a prize for the best review.

The winners were announced at the 2010 Finale held at Doncaster Racecourse.

The Best Review prize was awarded to Daniel from Armthorpe School.

Abbie from Mexborough School won the best secondary creative writing competition, with her brilliant exploration of the mind of Will from Bloodchild.

The best primary entry in the creative writing competition came from Holly from Tranmoor School, with a piece about Nick's thoughts following his visit to "Bargins" in The Soul Trade.

The winner of the slogan competition was Matthew, a Y6 student from Hatchell Wood Primary, with the slogan Read it, Love it, DBA it!.

Congratulations to all our winners! Information about next year's competitions will appear here shortly after the longlist is announced.
