Coram Voice is a charity that helps children and young people in and around the care system to be heard.
The competition is aimed at allowing care-experienced young people to express their creative talents and share their stories.
The theme of this year’s competition is What Makes Life Good and entries can be in any written form including poems, short stories, raps or newspaper articles, with a 500-word limit.
There are four age categories: primary school, lower secondary school (age 11 to 14), upper secondary school (age 15 to 17) and care leavers (age 18 to 25).
Entries will be judged by an expert panel of authors and poets, some of whom have experience of care themselves. The awards will be hosted by actor Peter Capaldi.
