'My Favourite Book / Story'

As part of this year’s International Dylan Thomas Day, which is celebrated on 14 May each year, DylanED invites school children aged 8-11 to take part in a very special competition.

The competition focuses on the theme of My Favourite Book / Story’.

Following in the footsteps of Swansea’s foremost writer and storyteller, the competition looks for school children aged 8-11 to submit a short story (100 words), poem or picture telling us about their favourite book / story

*All entries must be submitted via the child's teacher / school.


The overall winner will receive a goody bag. Selected entries will feature in an online exhibition in celebration of 'Dylan Day.'

Entries should be submitted electronically by Friday 19th April 2024 to cultural-institute@swansea.ac.uk with the title ‘My Favourite Book / Story.’
