Congratulations to the winner Cody Southern, with our two runners up being Imogen Teare and Edith Clarke. There were also seven Highly Commended stories. All 10 winners received Waterstones book tokens, with their winning stories being displayed in the children’s section of Yeovil Waterstones.

We are now working with 22 local schools for a Chrildren's Short Story Competition. The theme for this 500 word short story is BROKEN. We have once again been fortunate in working with the Yeovil Town football club's Community Sports Trust, and have sponsorship from South Somerset District Council, the Western Gazette and the Library through the County Council. With well-loved children's author John Dougherty judging and a presentation in Yeovil Library in April, the YCAA are thrilled to be spreading their literary support into the primary schools in the area.
