Alternatively, you can enter a picture about a news story, no bigger than A4 size and briefly describe what story you are illustrating. Once you have done this you will then need to enter the details into the form below and if you are submitting a drawing (either to go with your news story or on it's own) please scan it, save it as a jpeg and attach the jpeg file to the relevant form field below before submitting the form.
On July 16, The Telegraph & Argus celebrates 150 years of reporting the news and to mark it, we are searching for budding writers/artists from across Bradford and District to write or draw a picture about a news story to help us celebrate 150 years of reporting the news.
The competition is open to school children aged between 6 and 16, from across the District, with three age categories: 6-9, 10-13 and 14-16.
You can write or draw a picture about any news story that’s of interest to you, either about a current event or an event that’s happened within the last 150 years. It can be about a national event with local relevance, something that happened in Bradford or something that is important to you, your school or where you live. You can even do both, write a story and illustrate it with a picture..
The closing date for getting your entries in to us is June 29, 2018
After the closing date, a panel of judges headed by T&A Editor, Nigel Burton will select the best from each age category. Each winner will receive £50 worth of national book tokens and will feature, along with a selection of the best entries from each of the age categories, in a special 150th feature that will appear in the T&A in July.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
