Newbury College students were given the opportunity to take part in a writing competition with almost 70 students taking part from a variety of different courses. Students were invited to submit either a short story, poem, review of a book or film, or a play.
The annual writing competition provides real benefits to student. For some it develops their confidence in writing, while others use the competition as an extension of their curriculum work. Taking part in the competition also encourages students from different course areas to socialise with each other and become better acquainted with the College library.
Library Manager Fiona Lees who organised the competition said, We were very impressed with the standard of work submitted. As well as our outstanding winning entries, we had a large number of very highly commended' certificates to give out this year.
The pieces of writing were judged on originality, content and style. There were winners from a range of different courses and abilities who were; Eleanor Read, Lucia Miralles Valdivia, Chloe Goulding, Olga Helyar and Robert Marcinek.
