Belize Story Writing Competition

So...Don't know if this is exactly my cup o' tea.  I'm usually ALL OVER paying writing opportunities, contests or otherwise.  But as much as I appreciate Children's Literature, I don't know that the 5-10 age range is within my natural audience.  Nevertheless, I can at least pass it along.  Here's the info.

Nuff Respect

Dear friend

 

Following a short meeting between representatives of BEMA and Members and officers of Hackney Council, an in principle agreement has been reached that the name of the new facility will carry the name of CLR James Library as per our campaign demand. A formal statement will follow shortly. Many thanks to the thousands who have supported our successful campaign online and in other ways.

 

Bema will be playing an ongoing role in the development of a permanent CLR James exhibition at the new library as well as the establishment of an annual event commemorating his life and work.
