Fishguard's young writers were recognised on Shakespeare's birthday with a prize giving at the town's library.

The What's the Story competition, run by the Rotary Club, Fishguard Library and the Communities Together project attracted an impressive 53 entries from Ysgol Bro Gwaun pupils.

The judges were impressed by the standard and diversity of the entries the excellent imaginations, ideas, storytelling skills on display and the rich seam of writing they produced.

Overall Winner was Milan van Soest (year 7) – who won an e-reader for himself and a £200 Seaways Book Token for his class.

The judges felt that Milan's story was the most original, and that it had a freshness and lightness of touch that really made it stand out.

Runners up, who took home book tokens, were Samuel Rummery with a sophisticated, well-constructed and imaginative story. Emma Harries for a genuinely scary bold and unpredictable tale and Ceri Watts for an affecting, moving and powerful account.

All the winners also received a Gold Family Ticket for Theatr Gwaun.

The prizes were awarded by the Newport Based best –selling author, Helen Carey.

"I was really impressed with the standard of the stories and the richness of imagination shown by the writers," she said.

"The judges had the most difficult job of all in having to choose four winners, but everyone who entered, whether short-listed or not, has done a fantastic thing in setting out a story. Keep reading, and keep writing!"
