Young Dreamers Literary Festival Hong Kong 2023
An exciting children’s writing competition
Has your child ever dreamt of becoming a published author, or simply enjoys writing as a hobby? Here’s their chance to showcase their writing skill and creativity by entering the YDLF Writing Competition. Divided into three age groups, kids are invited to submit a short essay to express their feelings and thoughts surrounding the theme of Earth Day – from descriptive to narrative in the English language.
- 7-9 years old: 300-1,000 words (illustrations allowed)
- 10-12 years old: 500-1,000 words
- 13-15 years old: 700-1,000 words
One winner will be chosen from each age group. Submissions should be emailed to [email protected] on or before 10 April 2023.
Interactive workshops for kids
Don’t worry – those who don’t enter the writing competition can still take part in the workshops at Young Dreams Literary Festival! Sessions include:
- Creative writing workshop
- Book-reading and other fun activities
- Art of storytelling and spelling workshop
- Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness
All proceeds from ticket sales go to Be The Change – a non-profit organisation that works for the betterment of the needy, neglected, and underprivileged families in Hong Kong through education and counselling.
Goody bags for kids and light refreshments for parents will be provided. All registered children will also receive a certificate of participation.
