Every year, Read Educational Trust encourages budding young authors to challenge their creativity in the Word Warrior Competition.
The 2019 competition yielded a high literary standard, making it difficult to pick the eventual winner.
Sivani Pillay from Kamalinee Primary School walked away with the Word Warrior 2019 title, a R1 000 cash prize and books to the value of R5 000 for her school.
This year’s competition continues the focus on furry hero foxy Detective Inkomba.
Entrants aged nine to 16 are required to write fresh, authentic dialogue for a play, a movie or to use in a story.
Entrants are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild, creating a scenario where Detective Inkomba solves a mystery of sorts.
He could set off on interplanetary travel, engage in covert affairs or local affairs.
The sky’s the limit.
The winner walks away with a R1 000 cash prize and books to the value of R5 000 for their school and entries close on October 31, 2020.
