Scriptores 2025
Scriptores 2025
The Latin Programme’s Scriptores competition is back! Scriptores means ‘writers’ in Latin and is our competition for young writers.
This year’s theme is ‘weaving stories’, and entries can be poetry or prose. Entrants can respond to the theme in whichever way they like – entries might be directly about weaving, use it as a metaphor, or weave a tale the judges will enjoy.
RULES
The competition is open to ages 7-12 (UK entrants only)
First Place Prize: £50 book token
Second Place Prize: £20 book token
Third Place Prize: £10 book token
Word limit: 500 words for prose, or 30 lines for poetry. All entries should be submitted using the form on this page.
Entries will be judged on their creativity, and their ability to engage the reader.
Closing date: 5pm, 30th June 2025
