Creative Writing Competition for kids ( ages 8 to 15 years)

Hello everyone!

When you were in school did you ever have to "Write a letter to your friend describing your summer vacations" or how about about "Write a letter to your friend stating the importance of play and hard work". I used to cringe when I had to come up with these and feel mildly nauseous when after all these years my son has to write on the same topics.

If you think your child has a way with words and would enjoy thinking and writing out of the box, the CREATIVE WRITING COMPETITION at Gulmohar Days is the place to be!

Please note event details below:

Date: November 2nd, 2010
Time: 10.00 am to 1.00 pm
Registration Fee: Rs 150 per child
Age group: Category 1: 8 - 10 years      Category 2: 11 to 15 yrs
Materials: Participants must get their own pens/pencils/erasers and writing board. Also their own bottle of drinking water! We shall provide the paper.
Topics: Topics will be provided on the spot. The participants may then submit multiple entries under the various categories and topics allotted to them.
The winners will be announced in a few days time.


Please register at the earliest to ensure your child can participate! Please feel free to call or email for further details.
