Yaroslavl - Exeter Creative Writing Competition for Young People 2021

For 24 years we have hosting a creative writing competition for young people in Yaroslavl. In 2021 for the first time we also invited young people from Exeter to participate. We were delighted with a record number of 87 entries and we are grateful to the team in Yaroslavl who assessed all these entries.

 

The winners have been informed and have received their prizes. We congratulate them all

 

We will be posting their names here with links to their projects so you read them for yourself

 

Our next competition will be 2022. Young people from Yaroslavl and Yaroslavl Oblast, as well as Exeter and Devon will be eligible to enter. If you would like to be notified when competion details become available, please contact us.
