Lochaber Rotary will again be running the Young Writers’ Competition and the theme to be followed this year is ‘Happiness in Nature’, which can be interpreted as broadly as the Young Writer wishes and does not need to conform to any dictionary definition.
There are three age groups: Junior, up to and including 10 years old; Intermediate, 11 to 13; Senior, 14 to 17 years old. The qualifying age date is 31 August 2025.
Further details, information packs and entry forms can be downloaded here.
The closing date for entries for the Lochaber heat is Friday 5 December 2025 with entries being handled by schools.
The winners of the Lochaber heat will go forward in January 2026 to the Rotary District Final. District 1320 extends from Lochaber to cover the entire West and South of Scotland, including Edinburgh and the Lothians. In previous years and again in 2025 our Young Writer winners have had success at District level too; something to aim for!
