The theme of Through Their Eyes is to write from the point
of view of someone or something else. But who will be the inspiration for your
poem? In this blog we’ll give you some ideas of who… or what… you could write
about and where to find that spark of inspiration.
Remember to include your name and address, and send us your
poem for the chance to win!

Hi have the winners been announced yet and where do we go to see who the winners are
by Diya - 16-07-2024 22:44Reply from Young Writers...Hi, winners for the Jan-Feb Through Their Eyes competition have been announced, and can be found here: https://www.youngwriters.co.uk/competitions/winners/KS3-5/through-1stmailing
Hi . If I received a letter for my parents to sign permission for publication does that mean my work will be published in the book?
by Kat - 15-07-2024 15:49Reply from Young Writers...Hi Kat, your parents need to give their permission - either online or by contacting our customer care team (all the details are in the letter) then your work will be published.
When will the winners be announced?
by Megan - 04-07-2024 12:12Reply from Young Writers...Hi, we have run two competitions for Through Their Eyes recently. If you entered the competition that ran Jan-Feb, anyone who has been chosen for publication will have already received a letter, and winners chosen from those published are being announced on the website today: https://www.youngwriters.co.uk/competitions/winners. The winners who have been chosen will get an email in the next day or two, and the prizes are on their way.
For the competition that closed on 7th June, poets chosen to be published will hear from us in the next few weeks, and the winners will be chosen in autumn.
Hi will everyone receive a letter or only the winners or only the published ones? Thansk
by Ittg - 23-06-2024 18:36Reply from Young Writers...Hi, anyone chosen for publication will get a letter, a certificate and a bookmark. The letter is addressed to parent/guardians as permission will be needed for work to be published. It will also contain a typeset of the poem so you can check your work.
When the winners are chosen, they will each be sent another letter with their prize.
If you entered through school the letter will be sent to the school, and if you entered independently it will be sent direct to your home address.
Hi young writers, if you entered the competition closing on the 7th June, what dates are the winners coming out as autumn isnt very specific? Thanks
by ittg - 23-06-2024 18:31Reply from Young Writers...Hi, we don't have a specific date as it depends when the last book in the series is published, and we won't know that until we've gone through all the entries and assigned them to books. Once we've done that we will know the publication date of the last book and will have a better idea of when the winners will be announced, though it is subject to change.
The publication date for the book was dated from 21 June. I received a letter saying that my poem was being published. Will a receive a link on where I can buy the book

Hi Sarim,
The editorial team are busy reading and typing all the entries, so anyone chosen for publication will get a letter in the next few weeks. The winners will be announced once all the books in the series have been published, which will be in June.
