Rotary Young Writer

Creative writing is a talent that sadly not all are blessed with and to be able to write poetry is a special gift. In Great Britain and Ireland there are young people who have, or have the ability to develop this talent and Rotary in these islands wishes to promote writing through the Rotary Young writer competition.

Starting with club level competitions, winners progress to district events and finally a national competition. The final will be judged in May 2010 and the winning work published in Rotary magazines. The quality of work submitted in previous years has been outstanding and we expect no less going forward.

This competition is open to young people 17 or under on the 31st August 2010.

If you know of such young people in your schools or youth groups then seek out your local Rotary Club from the ‘Find a Club' button at the head of this page and ask them for details. Alternatively email or call RIBI via the ‘contact us' link above.

Full rules are on the right of this web page. Please note that these rules apply to the regional and RIBI finals. District and local event rules may differ.

We look forward to hearing from you.
