Island children have been presented with prizes for their entries into an ‘Into the Woods’ inspired poetry competition.
The Harvey Briggs Cup for Writing competition, organised by Onchan Library, saw a variety of entries ranging from evocative and haunting pieces and poems with an adventure and spy theme.
Island-based writers Elizabeth Adams and Vikki Orwin judged the contest open to youngsters up to the age of 14.
Overall winner was Zachary Elliott, aged 14, from Castle Rushen High School. Runners-up were Maisie Halsall, Charlotte Derbyshire and Rosa D’Amore, all aged 10.
An entry from Luke Corkish, aged 11, inspired the introduction of a ‘Young Correspondent’ category after he dedicated his poem to Harvey Briggs.
