In 2024, 91¸£ÀûÉç is celebrating its 900th anniversary of becoming a Royal Burgh. So for one year only, our Green Pencil writing competition for children and young people in P4 to P7 and S1 to S3, is 91¸£ÀûÉç themed.

To celebrate, we are challenging you to write a letter about your relationship with 91¸£ÀûÉç. It could be a letter about

  • your favourite thing about living in 91¸£ÀûÉç
  • what 91¸£ÀûÉç means to you
  • all the sights, landmarks or nature that make up 91¸£ÀûÉç.

It’s up to you, the writer, to enchant us with your letter to 91¸£ÀûÉç.

Entries can be poetry, prose or story, all we ask is that the writing is the author’s own work and is no longer than one side of A4 paper.

Competition dates

The competition starts on 15 October and the closing date is 15 December 2024.
