Competitions

There are lots of competitions around at the start of the school year, and pupils may like to get involved in one or more of these, such as :-

• the annual Poetry Aloud competition organised by Poetry Ireland and the National Library. Over the next week, we'll be asking pupils to take part in our preliminary round, and then entering the winners for the competition itself.
• the new Spooky Story competition organised by Children's Books Ireland based on Tomm Moore's artwork (above).
• the new Young Emerging Writer's and Artists' Forum, which is publishing an arts journal later this year.
