CBC, The First Page is a national writing competition for Grades 7 to 12 students in Canada. The competition has been running on an annual basis since 2017.
Students are invited to write the first page of a novel, imagining how present-day issues and trends — from climate change to cryptocurrency — have played out 150 years in the future.
Over 2,000 students enter the prize each year, from which shortlists of 10 are selected in each of the two categories: Grades 7 to 9 and Grades 10-12.
Past judges include YA writers Erin Bow, Cherie Dimaline, Kelley Armstrong and David A. Robertson.
