Why Read? Competition

LRB Manager, Mr Richardson, reveals the winners from our recent ‘Why Read’ competition:
“We have winners! First, though, we judges would like to thank every student who took part. The quality and variety of your submissions has been staggering, and it’s clear that a great deal of time and work has gone into creating such wonderful responses. Entries have taken a range of forms, from essays, poems and speeches (even one novella) to videos, posters and sculptures. Some were personal, some scientific; all were creative, insightful and inspiring.
The winning entry was created by Eliana and Sara – a beautiful poster that manages to communicate the full breadth of reading’s appeal. It incorporates personal statements from each of its creators with scientific argument, tactile visual elements and poetry. Well done!

The decision was far from easy and honourable mention goes to the runner-up prize-winners: Toby, Joan, Elizabeth, and the collective of Ariadne, Elise , Serena, Samara and Erin. Once again, well done and thank you to everyone who took part.”
