CHALLENGING WRITING COMPETITION FOR KIDS
WEXFORD County Council Public Library Service is running a writing competition for children aged between 8-13 years old to commemorate International Women’s Day on March 8.
To inspire the children, athlete, RTÉ presenter and author, Jacqui Hurley will read an extract from her best-selling book Girls Play Too: Inspiring Stories of Irish Sportswomen.
Each story in Jacqui’s book is about what you can achieve if you try your best and never give up on your dreams. A recording of her reading will be available to view at any time from Monday, March 8 on the Wexford Library YouTube channel and on all Wexford Library Facebook pages.
Wexford Library has a signed copy of Girls Play Too to give away for one lucky winner. For a chance to win this inspirational book, all you need to do is write a short piece (approx. 300-350 words) about what challenge you’d choose on the theme ‘Let’s All Choose to Challenge’.
This competition is open to all 8 – 13 year olds, boys and girls. Send entries to libraryhq@wexfordcoco.ie before 5.30 p.m., Saturday, March 13.
Entries must include the name and age of the child, a parent’s contact number or email address, and confirmation that the name of the winning entrant can be published on social media, Twitter, Facebook etc.
