The Bad Writing competition was new for 2025 and for the first time the entries for the second competition exceeded those for the 500 Words! I have to say the entries for this were fantastic, they were so clever, making it incredibly hard to narrow the list to the top three.
Below are the winner's and runners-up in both age categories.
