Creative Writing Contest: Winner Announced

The winners of the Department's creative writing contest have been chosen.

The first prize goes to a story entitled 'Creative Writing Course: First Term', by Liz Henderson. 'I found the story rich and imaginative; risky, bold, poignant and funny - altogether enjoyable', said John Ballam, Director of the Undergraduate Diploma in Creative Writing at Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education, and one of the contest judges.

The two runners up prizes go to Cathy Dreyer for her story 'From the Desk of James Sneath', and to Margie Wright for her story 'Untitled'.

The prize-giving for the contest will take place at Malmaison Hotel, Visitors' Room, third floor at 12.45 on Thursday 8th April 2010. Mr Philip Healy, Director of Public Programmes at the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education, will present the awards, and the winning story will be read out.

The prize-giving will be followed by readings of little stories - funny, sad, romantic, ghostly - by OUDCE students at 2.30 p.m. Admission to this event is free. Lunch and refreshments can be purchased from the hotel.
