Are you interested in writing about food? If so, then this is the competition for you.
The Week Junior is hosting the Young Food Writer competition. Set up in 2008, it is the only national food writing competition that is for children and young people up to the age of18.
To be winning, write a short story around the theme （主题） of "Food and Heroes （英雄）". The hero could be anyone you want, yourself, a friend, a family member or a sports person. No matter who it is, write about what role food plays in life. For example, do you have a family member who cooks something to make you feel better when you're sick or help you get through your hardest times?
The competition has four different age categories （类别）, each with their own word limit（限制）.
10 and under — at least 250 words
11—13— at least 500 words
14—16— at least 750 words
17—18— at least 1,000 words
There will be a champion（冠军） and a runner- up（亚军） in each category. Good luck!
Please send your story by e-mail to food and heroes@theweekjunior. co. uk by April 30th. All works must include （包含） your name, address, e- mail address and phone number of your parent.
