The Bramley Jubilee Creative Writing Competition 2022

Do you like creative writing or would like to have a go? If so, dust off your pens, pencils and PCs and join in the fun.

This summer’s competition is on the theme of “Royalty”.

We are looking for an original take on this topic so think carefully about how the theme can be interpreted. Examples: protagonist called Queenie, a dog called Duke, a family history search reveals a royal relation, a royal jewel theft, etc
