A Letterkenny company has launched an exciting creative writing competition for children during lockdown.
Boyd HR are celebrating World Book Day by shining a light on the “little unsung heroes” of the pandemic.
The competition will keep young minds active by inviting them to put pen to paper and dream up great stories.
“We may be HR Executives but we are also parents and we understand how hard it has been for children over the past 12months. Now more than ever is a time for imagination and we want to give them an outlet to use theirs and be creative,” said the Boyd HR team.
Amazing prizes from The Bookmark, Letterkenny are up for grabs for the winners.
