It’s back!
We’re delighted to announce that the ever-popular RDA Creative Writing Competition is back for 2019!
As in previous years, we will still be offering classes for poetry, short stories and letter-writing, but as 2019 marks RDA’s 50th Anniversary, we thought we’d add the theme of celebration to each of the classes.
I’ve attached an entry form to this email, which has full details of how to enter, closing dates and the types of entries that can be submitted. I’ve also attached an optional A4 poster for groups to display.
The competition is open to RDA participants only (although volunteers can enter if they are also an active RDA rider, carriage driver or vaulter) and as in previous years it will be completelyFREE to enter. There are generous prizes on offer for the overall winners of each class – and ALL entrants will receive a smart, specially-designed rosette and letter of congratulations.
I’d be really grateful if you could distribute the entry form and the small poster as far as you are able within your RDA networks, including client schools etc. (and promotion on group and regional social media would be fantastic, please, as I’ll be promoting this as far and as wide as I can myself, too). The closing date for entries won’t be until 29th March 2019, so participants have plenty of time to plan and write their entries.
As always, if you have any queries at all, please just ask.
Huge thanks in advance for your help in promoting this exciting, rewarding and inclusive extra activity for RDA participants. Let’s make the 2019 competition the best ever!
