We are delighted to announce the winners of our first Writing Competition for Girls.
Age 10 years and under: Eden Rose, 10 years old
Age 11 – 13 years: Catie, 12 years old
Age 14 – 14 years: Amelia, 15 years old
Choosing a winner was incredibly difficult as the standard of writing was so high, and we would have loved to have awarded a prize to each and every one of you.
We will be share all the entries on Jump! Mag over the coming weeks.
The three winners will each receive:
Six months membership of Wordebite – a website where you can read fiction online
and a copy of
The Book Book, from the artist Sophie Benini Pietromanchi.
“Artist Sophie Benini Pietromarchi invites children on a unique and poetic journey into the world of bookmaking. Exploring colors, textures, shapes, and feelings, she demonstrates how to turn these intangible elements into pictorial narratives, using such unlikely fodder as pencil shavings, onions, dust, and leaves.
This visual feast of a book evolved from Pietromarchi’s bookmaking workshops with children. Playfully narrated, and packed with captivating and inventive illustrations, The Book Book is a tribute to the rich, imaginative world in all of us.”
We had a sneak peek at The Book Book and absolutely loved it. It is sure to inspire our lucky winners to write wonderful stories (which we hope they will share with us).
Wordebite offers young writers a platform to share their work, and young readers a place to read great fiction, alongside videos, trailers and blogs.
Thank you all for taking part, and sharing your thoughts and dreams with us here at Jump! Mag, and with our readers.
