BUDDING writers from schools across Bolton are being invited to take part in a competition.

Bolton Sixth Form is running the competition, which is open to children in years 10 and 11 at school.

Pupils are being asked to write an eassy of between 500 and 1,000 words about an issue affecting young people.

The winner will win a trophy for their school and £50 worth of high street vouchers.

Runners-up will also win prizes, and the best entries will be published in an anthology.

Pupils should either speak to their head of English or call 0800 052 1460 for more information.
