Journeys...a real or imagined journey, back to your roots, homeland, or a journey of the heart

You can write in any style – short story, poetry, reportage – using the theme of Journeys as a starting point:
use your imagination to evoke memories, sensations, your feelings about a journey you have made –
in your dreams or in real life – voyage of self discovery, back to your roots.

The winning entries will be published in a book that will be launched in 2010 and all winners
will be given a copy of this book.



There will also be a special prize for overall winners:

Best writer in 8 to 15 category will receive £200 and
