THE BILL BUDNER WRITING COMPETITION - ALL THE WINNERS!

The inaugural writing competition organised by Maureen Budner in memory of her late husband Bill, drew many entries from Felixstowe, Ipswich and surrounding areas, together with some just a little further afield like Brighton and Bristol and beyond.

The standard of all entries was very high and after great deliberation the winners were announced as:

ADULTS SECTION:

1st place : Belinda Janz of Queensland, Australia with her story "Miss Sandy Shore's Midlife Crisis."
2nd place : Ruth Dugdall of Felixstowe, with her entry "My Brother the Sea."
3rd place : Stephen Sharp of Trimley with "Morning Sea."

THE WINNER, BELINDA JANZ.


THE CHILDREN'S SECTION:

1st place : Rosemary Woolley, age 15, with "Driftwood."
2nd place : Aysia Schuetzle, age 14, with "Lost to the Sea."
3rd place : Samantha Healey, age 14, with "Lost at Sea."

Consolation prizes are being awarded to other entrants in this section.

From the Felixstowe Scribblers, many congratulations to all the winners, sincere thanks to Maureen for this excellent competition and to every entrant, young and old alike, very many thanks for your wonderful stories.

It is likely that this competition will be repeated next year so, until then,

Keep Scribbling!
