We’re so excited to announce the winners of our 2025 National Writing Contest! The theme was a 'Community of Stories,' and almost 90 young writers submitted entries from across the country. We were blown away by the creativity and care in every story, and it was a challenge to pick our winners. After a flurry of furrowed brows, we came to our list below. Congratulations to Saanvi, Blake, Raine, and Ryan! 🥳 ⭐️ 1st Place: Waves Across the Years by Saanvi (age 14) ⭐️ Runner Up: Whispers of Goldengrove by Blake (age 11) ⭐️ Runner Up: Cashiers by Raine (age 17) ⭐️ Runner Up: The Lantern Makers by Ryan (age 13) Thank you to all the young authors who sent in stories — we loved reading your beautiful tales. Your voice matters, and we hope you keep writing ✨ All winners will receive a prize package and a printed copy of our 'Community of Stories' anthology, thanks to our sponsors Island Savings and Orca Book Publishers 💛 (Psst... we'll release a digital anthology soon. Stay posted here!) #kidswrite #canadakids (fb)
