Transition Cambridge Launches Eco Story Writing Competition

More than £750 worth of prizes to be won, sponsored by AC Architects Cambridge Ltd

Transition Cambridge, part of Transition Towns which promotes community action to increase our resilience to peak oil and climate change, has just launched an innovative, eco story writing competition for the local community. They are calling on children and adults alike to send in their stories set in Cambridge in 2050, happily adapted to a new, low carbon society and environment. The competition aims to get local people to think beyond the current oil and climate crises in a positive way.

This competition is open to everyone who lives, works or studies in Cambridge, or within 20 miles of Cambridge. Stories will be judged in three age groups: under 14 (maximum word count 1500); 14 to 17 (maximum word count 2500) and 18 and over (maximum word count 2500). They must be sent in on or before 30 April 2010. Visit www.transitioncambridge.org for competition entry details, entry form and ideas!
