Reading Zone Comics Competition!

Are you someone between the ages of 4-16 years, who likes drawing, telling stories and making comics? Here's a competition for you! Not only that, but Caroline Horn at Reading Zone has worked with me to make three in-depth videos with tips for making your own comics, a valuable resource! Please do share, if there's anyone you know who'd like to encourage people to make comics but isn't quite sure what's involved in it. Reading Zone is running the competition in partnership with The Phoenix Comic, who publish so many of my comics friends and colleagues, and are the same people I started with, publishing Vern and Lettuce with The DFC (now published by Bog Eyed Books). There are two categories for the competition: Primary (4-11 years) and Secondary (11-16 years), and some great prizes from The Phoenix! The competition will close on Monday 5th December 2022, with judging by The Phoenix team. The winners will be announced in January 2023.

NOTE: For another valuable comics resource, here are my Comic Jam videos with BookTrust, and an article about using them in the classroom.
