The Short List

Happy Easter Everyone!  I am delighted to announce that we now have the short list of children whose stories and/or drawings have been selected for the next Wild n Free Book, Wild n Free Forever. 

It was a tougher job than ever this year with the standard being so incredibly high! 

The stories will now be passed onto our final judges who will choose an overall winner and runner up from each age group and we hope to publish all the names along with the names of your stories and drawings on our website by the end of May! I will send another newsletter when we have the selection with the link!

All children whose stories and/or drawings have been selected have also been contacted by email as well but just in case check your SPAM filters.

If you did not make the list please don't be too sad there were so many stories and it was so hard to choose. 

But we do thank you for taking part and for helping us to raise awareness about wildlife.

 

So here is the list in order of Paws Entry Number only (remember winners and runner-up have not been chosen yet!) but all of these stories and drawings will be in the next book that will be out later this year and we will have a special launch event too -- details later.
