Studfield Wantirna Community News is proud to publish these three stories submitted as entries to the inaugural Story Writing Competition supported by Eastern Regional Libraries. We were delighted with the response from local schools, with Wantirna Primary School, one of the smallest local schools submitting the most entries which was a fabulous achievement. Thank you to every school and student who entered the competition, your writing talent is impressive.

The Judges Report:
The quality of the entries was high. From a total of 67 entries, that were made anonymous to the judge, a short list of 10 was chosen. I had great difficulty in choosing between all of those on the short list, this is always the worst cheap klonopin part of the judging process, but in the end for me it came down to just the one. “Storm Clouds” by Sophie Chen was both compelling, clever and arresting. Imparting a sense of foreboding in under 500 words was a tremendous achievement.
My congratulations to the winner in particular but also to all the other writers. Writing a short story is no easy task and you all rose to the challenge splendidly. Keep reading, keep writing, keep feeding your imaginations.
Paul Burden – Eastern Regional Libraries
