The Royal Mint Museum Short Story Competition
Deadline: Fri 11 Dec 2020
There are just nine days left for schoolchildren across Wales to enter the Royal Mint Museum’s Short Story competition – helping to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Decimalisation. The bilingual short story competition is open to all pupils in years five and six. Judge: celebrated children’s author, Eloise Williams.
Pupils are asked to write a short story of no more than 500 words inspired by Decimal Day in 1971 and the change to decimal money.
Some inspiration ideas for the story are:
• “What if coins could talk, what would they tell us?”
• “What do you think decimal day was like for people using the new money for the first time?”
• “Imagine you are a shiny, new, decimal coin. What sort of adventures might you have once you have left the Royal Mint?”
Stories can be submitted in either Welsh or English.
The winning story will be illustrated by Rebecca Green and published by New Welsh Review. The author will receive a silver commemorative coin, a set of Eloise Williams books with an additional book set and digital workshop session for their school.
