BUDDING authors from Trafford are being called upon to put pen to paper and compete in this year's National Young Writers' Awards.
The literary contest is open to five to 14 year olds with the winner walking away with two prizes - a family trip to Disneyland Paris and £500 worth of books for his or her school.
Entrants have to write a 500 word story around the theme of "strange events and peculiar happenings."
