The Children’s Bookshow Competition is a chance for young readers to be writers. It seems that reading is coming back in fashion, if a survey by the famous National Literacy Trust(NLT)is true. It shows that the percentage of children who admit enjoying reading has grown for the first time in the past 8 years. So it’s a good time to launch a competition that includes a shedload(大量)of new books for schools as prizes. The Children’s Bookshow Competition, backed by The Independent, will be on the road again from the start of next term, with a nationwide tour of 15 big cities, featuring a line-up of a dozen children’s writers and illustrators(插图画家) aiming to persuade pupils to follow in their footsteps. The competition, launched by the children’s writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami, has two categories:the under-nine’s and the 9-to 13-year-olds. Children are asked to choose their favorite fairy or folk tale and set it in an extraordinary place. Then they are to retell it with the aid of drawings and writings—whether it is set at sea, on a distant planet, in the future or in the past. The closing date for the competition is November 30. “Tell your tale in pictures and in words,” say the organizers of the competition. “It can be in a picture book or comic book format.” The winner of each competition will receive a signed copy of a book by each of the 12 writers involved in this year’s tour, plus £150 worth of books for their school. The runners-up will receive a signed copy of Souhami’s new book.
