We were delighted that one of our students was chosen as a finalist in the National TY Short Story Competition which is sponsored by School Print Resources. It was clear from the Judging Panel’s words that they had taken time and care in reading the many entries and had some insightful comments to make. There was a lot of thought put into the event with finalists receiving a framed certificate, a prize and also their stories printed in a booklet to keep as a memento. The students were interviewed afterwards about their story writing for a TY Hub podcast which was then followed by lunch in Dail Eireann. Thank you Tom and Niall for both a wonderful competition and awards ceremony.
As a secondary school English teacher, I recently participated in a competition for transition year students created by ‘School Print Resources’. It was a fantastic competition and the award ceremony was so enjoyable, the attention to detail was fantastic!. It was clear to see the time, effort, and dedication that both Niall and Tom have invested in this company and competition. I could not recommend enough!! Many thanks.
Our TY students entered the TY Short Story Competition sponsored by School Print Resources. We were lucky enough to have a finalist in the competition. We attended a fabulous event in Buswells Hotel in Dublin & afterwards a celebration in the Members Restaurant in Dáil Éireann. Thanks to Tom & Niall for this fabulous competition & event.
The short story competition has been a very rewarding experience for my TY students. It has allowed them the opportunity to express their creativity on topics & themes which interest them. All entries were read & judged by an expert panel. The finalists short stories were varied & really interesting to read. The experience of the presentation of awards & lunch in the Dáil made it all a very special experience for all. I would encourage as many schools & students as possible to enter this excellent competition next year. We are a country known for its excellent writers. Who knows, the next Colm Tobin or Maeve Binchy or Sally Rooney, may be in your TY group!
