Londis is now calling on the young people of Mayo to enter stories about their community in their 2010 Write Up My Street competition. The theme of this year’s competition is Community, The People, The Place and The Pride, where those aged between five and 18 years of age, are asked to depict what it is they love about their community and what makes it so unique.
Winning entries from each county in Ireland will be chosen by the judges for inclusion in a specially commissioned book to be sold in participating Londis stores across Ireland, with proceeds going to Barnardos children’s charity. In addition one overall primary school winner who is deemed to have the most entrants per student population will receive a €5,000 library voucher for its school! The best entry from the four different age categories will receive a €250 book voucher.
Entries must be no more than 1,000 words in length. Closing date is May 28. Visit www.londis.ie for lots more info.
