Congratulations to our Short Story Contest winners for 2024! We hope you enjoy The Secret of the Whistling Woods by Marwa Al Jasem and The Sweet and Salty Truce by Gureet Virk. We had over 100 entries and had a blast reading all of them.
The Olive and Fred Robins Junior Short Story Contest is an annual programme held each October. Wellington County students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 are invited to submit original stories for the chance to win great prizes and publication of their work. Stories are judged anonymously by the Short Story Contest Committee. Here's what we look for:
- Creativity and originality
- Story structure, including plot and characters
- Style and quality of writing, including spelling and grammar
Good readers make good writers, and creative writing takes practice. Keep it up through the year and let's see what happens in 2025.
