Coram Voice Voices Writing Competition

Voices is our creative writing competition for children in care and care leavers who are 25 or under. The competition is now open!  Click here to enter now.

Voices is a celebration of the creativity, talent and imagination of Looked After Children and Care Leavers. The competition gives you a chance to tell people what you want to say about your experiences. Every year, young people write inspiring stories, poems, raps, and articles, hoping to be shortlisted for our awards ceremony in the Spring. Could you be one of them this year?

The theme for Voices 2020 is ‘Dreams‘.

You could write about a dream you’ve had in the past, what your hopes and dreams are for the future… or anything you can imagine! We’re excited to see what you’ll come up with!

Prizes will be awarded to the 24 shortlisted candidates.

• The winner will receive £100 Love-to-Shop voucher.
• Second place will receive a £50 Love-to-Shop voucher.
• Third place will receive a £25 Love-to-Shop voucher.
• The shortlisted candidates will receive a book voucher.

Further prizes and awards may be announced during the competition.

Competition will close on 12 February 2020.

The rules can be found in our Voices T&Cs. If you have any questions, please take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions  and if you can’t find your answer there, you can send your question to [email protected].
