The Heritage Writing Competition closed on October 31st. Well over 100 entries were received, of which the vast majority were of publishable standard. About 10% of the entries were fictional. Our thanks to everyone who entered.
The high standard of entries meant that judging was very difficult.
After much consideration, the Judging Panel, chaired by STE’s Competition Editor Anne Esser, chose two entries as Joint Winners. Each entrant will receive half of the £100 competition prize.
Ten Runners-up will each receive a £10 Amazon UK voucher.
The winning and runner-up entries will be published on the STE website over the next few weeks.
In recognition of the high number of good quality entries, the Judging Panel decided that fifteen additional entries that were short-listed, but not finally chosen as winners or runners-up, should be listed as Highly Commended.
