YOUNG WRITER & YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHER COMPETITIONS 2017


Over 20 young people attended the Rotary workshops for Young Writers and Young Photographers on 14th January at Faringdon Community College.


The Young Writers workshops were facilitated by Julie Farmer, Val Hughes and Sue Cain of the Faringdon Writers Group. With encouragement and guidance the youngsters were set the task of


developing a written piece based on the subject “Reflections”. At the end of each session some impressive pieces were read aloud.


President Sarah and Colin facilitated the Young


Photographers workshops which included a discussion of the characteristics of photographs and general guidance on what makes a good photo. This session was interactive with opportunity to take photos in the room using creativity and experimentation in unusual situations.


Again, the


interaction and enthusiasm in discussion and experimentation was excellent.


The workshops have been in preparation for Rotary’s Young Photographer and Young Writer competitions. Each competition is divided into three age groups 7-10, 11-13 and 14-17. Young persons unable to attend the workshop/s may still take part in the competition/s.
