UK: Pink Lady® to hold competition for young writers
Write It was established by former Guild President Jane Suthering in 2008 and has seen prestigious names from the Guild’s membership judge entries from more than 1000 aspiring food writers.
This year’s judges include the Guild’s President, Xanthe Clay, and Stefan Gates, award-winning documentary maker, TV presenter and author of books on food and science for young people. Also on the judging panel are award-winning food writers Diana Henry and Felicity Cloake, Jo Ingleby, Cook of the Year in the BBC’s Food and Farming Awards 2015, and Karen Barnes, editor of delicious. magazine.
Michelle Toft, Chief Marketing Officer for Pink Lady said of the competition “The Guild of Food Writers and its members are so well respected that when we were invited to collaborate with them through Write It we jumped at the opportunity. As our apples are loved by both children and parents alike, we want to enable families to get involved and be as creative as they can.”
Kate Hawkings, Chair of the Guild of Food Writers commented: “Many of our members have been writing about food since they were very young, and with this year’s theme we hope to inspire children to do the same and write about their favourite food partnership. This might be sharing their experiences of cooking or eating with friends or family or their ultimate food partnership such as apple crumble and custard, bacon and eggs, strawberries and cream or perhaps something more unusual. The Guild is thrilled to be working with Pink Lady to encourage even more children to have fun doing the same.”
The competition opens on Friday 3rd February 2017 and the closing date is Sunday 30 April.
