Writing Competition 2006

CPRE/Cheshire Life magazine have run a competition annually for the last four years for those who love Cheshire's countryside, and want to share their enthusiasm. The brief was:

Just think of your favourite Cheshire landscape: what makes it special to you? Now imagine how you would feel if it were ever under threat. Then turn your thoughts and feelings into an article of no more than 250 words, and send it to the Branch Office before 31st October 2006.

The competition is free and is open to all ages. We are especially keen to encourage young people and children to enter. They are the countryside custodians of the future, and it’s never too early for them to develop an appreciation of the landscapes all around them. Some schools have used the competition task as an opportunity to develop planning and other writing skills, or for younger children to reflect on school visits.

This year's competition is now closed, and judging is underway, so watch this space for the results! The winning articles will be published in Cheshire Life next spring.
