This year's competition tackled a big topic - What do you imagine the future will be like?  The judge, Armidale Catholic Schools Director - Regina Menz, was impressed with the range of ideas that students used to create the future worlds in their stories. She made special note of the "high level of writing using a range of literary devices and the ability of students to create meaning through their sophisticated use of vocabulary."  We would like to congratulate all the winners, and thank all the participants for sharing their wonderful stories. Keep a lookout for the final illustrated ebooks which will be added to each of the winner profiles on this page as they are published on the SORA digital library app, in the Student Writers collection.
