Competitions

Okay, so here's the info about competitions that I told you guys about

First one's got to be handed into ME or MRS RAPHAEL before HALF TERM for a chance to get published in an anthology and receive a £10 book voucher. The best thing is that it can be ANY LENGTH, ANY TOPIC, ANY STYLE! Go to town guys :D

Second one is the boring essay competition, but one with a GREAT prize. Here's the info for it:


The 2010 Baillie Gifford Essay Competition. For the 5th year running, Baillie Gifford - in association with the Financial Mail - is running a national essay competition aimed at helping students understand more about managing their finances. The competition is open to two different age categories, 13-15 year-olds and 16-18 year-olds, and they have to write an essay of no more than 750 words on the following subject:

"As a newly appointed minister in the coalition government, how would you encourage more people to save and why is saving good for the economy?"

There are fantastic prizes up for grabs, including a 16GB Apple iPad, two days work experience at the Financial Mail (for the 16-18 year old category only), a mini laptop computer, and lots of book tokens. Plus there’s also the chance for your school to win some great prizes. The school of the first-prize winner in each age category will receive £500, a trophy and 34 educational finance workbooks.

Please make sure that all entries reach us on or before the closing date of 5 November 2010.
