| Literature Competition Winners 2007 | ||
The R C Sherriff Trust is pleased to announce the results of the 2007 Literature Competition - 'A Life In Colour' The panel of judges again had the onerous task of selecting the winners and runners-up in the various categories from a field of almost 200 entries. Congratulations go to all the winners, runners-up and those commended and chosen for public reading. To those who didn't quite make it this year, keep trying! The standard of entries was again generally very high, and shows the appetite for literature in the Borough. The list of Winners, Runners-Up and those Commended and Recommended For Public Reading is printed below. Following the Performance Readings in the last week of September winning works will be available here for viewing. |
