2020 Young Writers Day Out Update
Creative people are used to thinking outside the box. Now, with our lives changing, we need to rethink how we do things even here at YNZW.
Although the venue canceled the Young Writers Day Out workshops scheduled for 19th June, YNZW is working hard to provide an alternative experience for students and teachers. We are excited by this opportunity and hope you will be too.
Watch this space for more information.

2020 Beyond Belief and Scary Tales
Writing Competitions are now closed.
Due to the change in circumstances for all New Zealand schools, teachers, and students, we at YNZW are rethinking how to make the 2020 writing competition work for both students and teachers and still provide the best possible experience.
Feedback will still be provided for all submissions as will picking stories to go into the yearly anthologies and stories for judging. Prizes and certificates will be sent in the mail. Although we won't be able to provide a printed versions of the anthologies at this time, a soft launch is scheduled for 19th June when e-book versions will be available. Updates will be posted on the website. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. |
