Question: Do
you know any FREE writers
competitions for kids?
Answer:
Hi Madeleine,
This is a difficult one as, whilst there are
competitions for children (usually below age 16) I come
across them only infrequently. One of the best
competition listings sites I’ve found (apart from my own ,
of course!), is a site
maintained by Sally Quilford - http://www.sallyquilford.co.uk/page25.htm
. This has competitions from around the world
and does feature the occasional under 16s one. It still
means you have to trawl through the listing, even
visiting the competition site to check the rules, to find
one.
You could try searching on Google or Yahoo! I
did a search using “children’s+writing+competitions+free”
(without the quotes) and this seemed reasonably
productive. One site that may be helpful was
Scribblepad.co.uk where you can sign up to receive their
newsletter which includes details of competitions.

Other suggestions I have would be to ask at your
local library. UK libraries seem keen on promoting
competitions for youngsters. Don’t know what it’s like in
the States or elsewhere, but worth a try.
Also, have you tried enquiring at the school?
They might well receive information about comps but not
necessarily promote them to the pupils.
