We received an astounding total of 781 entries from 136 different schools around the country. It was a difficult decision to choose the finalists from all of the excellent entries we received. Due to this we added two extra Awards of Recognition. We will be in touch with the winners once lockdown has been lifted, to attend your school and award the prizes. We will be running another Young Authors Challenge in 2022 in line with the Auckland Writers Festival 2022. Thank you to everyone for all your hard work and effort towards the 2021 Young Authors Challenge. We have really enjoyed reading all your stories.
Thank you on behalf of Barfoot & Thompson.
