Scribes KS3 Writing Competition – the results!
Scribes – a KS4 creative writing club with a mission to enter national writing competitions – recently hosted a KS3 competition. The challenge was to write a piece of prose or poetry that started and finished with the line ‘it would never be the same again.’
We are very pleased to announce that after an extensive (and sometimes contentious!) judging process, the results are…
First place - Marty 7PA
Second place - Xiaochu 7HB
Third place - Anya 7PA
Well done to everyone who entered the competition. We loved reading your submissions! Please look out for our next competition for another opportunity to take on a creative writing challenge.
Marty’s winning submission –
It would never be the same again.
The house, the walls,
The floors, the halls,
The steps I took,
These wretched books,
The things I’ve seen,
Those horrible dreams,
The cursed second floor,
In my house on the moor.
The people lost…
The lines crossed...
It would never be the same again.
Judging comments – ‘We loved how Marty’s poem created dark tension and encouraged the reader’s curiosity. The pace was very effective. Great poem, Marty!’
