Get your pupils writing!
Competitions are a great way to get young people interested in writing.Time Out: Write Up Your Street not only gives young people a focus to start writing or push their writing to the next level, it values their voices and encourages them to share their experience of their neighbourhood.
All entries will be featured on an exciting, online interactive map of London, where you'll be able to discover thousands of other stories from the streets of the capital, due to be launched spring 2008. Young writers' identities will be protected online through the use of 'pen names' (writing aliases).
