2024 Sponsorship Opportunities

Creative Writing Competition for Schools and Home-Educated Children

Sponsorship of the writing competition we curate for primary schools, secondary schools and home-educated children within Dorset.

​

Last year, we partnered with AFC Bournemouth to create a football-themed competition, where the winners each received fabulous AFCB prizes - including meeting the women's team! 

 

This year, our theme is nature and sustainability. We are working with Dorset Goes Wild and Hengistbury Writers' Group to expand our competition to involve even more children to write. With this sponsorship, we aim to reach all 274 schools within BCP and Dorset and 47,000 families.

​

As part of the sponsorship to enable more kids to write, you'll receive exclusivity, logo and branding on all materials (including on collateral going into schools) plus exposure at the winners event.
