Festival of Literature 2023

Oxford University Press Story Writing Competition

Use your creativity and imagination to write a story based on the theme ‘Old
Friends’.

The idea is to celebrate and cherish the joy of all the wonderful friendships we
create over the years.

This theme also encourages you to think if you have ever considered a book as
an ‘Old Friend’. Books stay with us once we read them. We remember parts of
books that moved us – made us cry or laugh.
