Calling All Creative Minds: Writing To Reflect Enter now for your chance to win a programme place and tablet!

At InvestIN, we want to finish the school year on a high by taking a moment to reflect on what we have gained this year, rather than what we have lost. To celebrate National Writing Day, we’re calling on students aged 12-18 to enter our ‘Writing to Reflect’ competition.  We’re looking for positive, thoughtful submissions detailing a skill or life lesson students have learnt outside the classroom and how they think it will benefit their future. Shortlisted entries will be judged by a professional writer and the winner will receive an Amazon Fire Tablet and a place on one of our ‘Live Online’ weekend programmes! For every entry, we’ll make a donation to UNICEF, whose life-changing work helps children across the world access education. The deadline for entries is Friday 6th August and must be no more than 250 words. We kindly request you forward this email to students and parents so they can enter now. Enter Now PDF
