Book Week Creative Writing Competition
One of the competitions that the IRC had organised during the recent Book Week celebrations was the creative writing competition. The students participated enthusiastically and the IRC received a very large number of 5 worders, 50 worders, poems and short stories. Selecting the winner from a number of short listed poems and stories was a difficult task.
However, after careful consideration James Vuong was declared the winner of the short stories section in the senior division. Given below is a list of all winners of creative writing competition and James Vuong’s winning short story titled “Say something, say anything.”
