Top prizes for young writers
A RIDE in an Aston Martin and £1,000 to spend on a holiday are on offer to someone aged 16 or under for writing a short story. The winner’s mum or dad will have the pick of the current Audi car range, free for a week.
The prizes come from the Midland Group of Motoring Writers and are being given in memory of one of its members, the late Phil Llewellin who contributed to magazines around the world.
The Phil Llewellin Award is aimed at budding motoring writers, aged up to 16. To enter, you should write a story of about 500 words on ‘my perfect car and the journey I’d take in it.’
Email your story to brian_vertigen@tiscali.co.uk. Closing date is December 31. Please include your full name, date of birth and address.
The first winner enjoyed a family holiday in Italy, paid for by the £1,000 of vouchers he won. His mum loved her week in the new Audi TT and the winner is still talking about his trip to Aston Martin’s HQ and a ride in one of the company’s fantastic cars with a test driver at the wheel.
