The English Writing Competition encourages students to develop their creative writing skills, as well as helping them to structure their thoughts and build an argument in English. The goal is to create a space in which the students can express themselves fluently through written English.
​
In the first stage of this competition, participants will be asked to write a short persuasive text (approx. 150 words) in favour of or against one of 3 contentious topics. The selected finalists then go on to develop a piece of creative writing, inspired by an audio/visual stimulus (e.g. a video clip).
