A Special Journey
In July/August 2017, CommonEverybody are running a competition in collaboration with Why Comics? Education Charity and PositiveNegatives and SCOOP Magazine.
The Challenge: Write a story under the theme ‘A Special Journey’.
It can be a story about you, or someone else, physically travelling somewhere, or it can be an emotional journey you’ve had, like starting a new school, moving etc. If you don’t want to write about yourself, why not ask a family member or friend to tell you their story? Maybe your grandparents have some interesting stories to tell?
The Prize
The winning story from each category will be turned into an amazing comic by one of PositiveNegatives brilliant professional artists and published in Scoop’s October 2017 birthday edition. The winners will have the chance to talk to the artist about their story too J
