Booktrust has launched a Uk-wide search to find five young people to join their Booktrust Teenage Prize panel. The winners will help to decide this year’s best fiction for teenagers, and attend the awards ceremony to be held in London in October.
The 2006 Prize was won by Anthony McGowan for Henry Tumour.
So if you fancy yourself as a literary critic, get writing as entrants are asked to submit a short story in no more than 500 words on the theme of Time Travel.
Entrants must be between 11 and 16 years of age.
Deadline for entries is Monday 30 July 2007.
Entry forms are available to download from www.booktrust.org.uk or www.bookheads.org.uk
The Booktrust Teenage Prize was launched in 2003 to recognise and celebrate contemporary fiction written for teenagers.
