Primary school age. I don't have any details on them aside from name (for obvious reasons) but I'd say they're grade 4 and up.

Well, picking winners was easy for 2 schools. There were going to be three winners from each school. One school submitted 3 stories and one submitted one so they win by default. I'm currently writing each a personal letter congratulating them and some thoughts and writing advice.

The other school submitted 10. I haven't read them yet but I'm gonna feel bad for the ones who don't win. I'm almost considering giving them all a copy.
