Calling all writers…

Be a part of our Shalom College Literary Wonders competition for 2023.

The theme for 2023 is “Locally grown”. 

Feel free to interpret this theme as creatively as you like: be inspired by our vast local scenery to build your setting; incorporate our local history into your characters or plot; the opportunities are endless!
