We would like to thank everyone who took part in this year’s Chris Salmon Poetry Competition. The theme of this year’s competition was dream and we were delighted to receive over 250 entries and the difficult task of judging has now taken place. Once again, the standard of entries was extremely high so we would like to thank the judges for reading through all the wonderful entries and having the unenviable task of choosing the winners. All winners have now been notified and they and their families have been invited to an award ceremony which is being held at Birkenhead Library in mid-July.
So, we are delighted to announce that this year’s winning entries are as follows: -
Space by Ezra White – Winner KS1

Thank you once again for your support and for helping us keep Christopher’s memory alive.
