Young Writer


Rotary GB&I Young Writer

Creative writing is a talent to be celebrated and to be able to write is a special gift. In Great Britain and Ireland there are young people who have, or have the ability to develop, this talent and Rotary in these islands wishes to promote writing through the Rotary GB&I Young Writer competition. Starting with club level competitions, winners progress to district events and, ultimately, a national final with the winning work subsequently published in Rotary magazines and on this website. The quality of work submitted in previous years has been outstanding

The task is to produce a hand written or typed story in prose entitled “Happiness in Nature”.
The written entry could be fiction or non-fiction, a story or a poem, as long as the piece relates to the theme. An A4 page or up to 550 words is a suggested suitable submission.

Deadlines

  • All entries to clubs to be by a date determined by club.
  • Club winners in each age group to District Organiser by no later than 28th February 2026.
  • District winners in each age group will be sent on to the national Rotary GB&I competition.

For detailed information about the competition, age groups, guidelines and how to enter, see the Information Pack.

A completed Entry Form must accompany each entry to the competition.
