Young people in Lichfield and Burntwood are being invited to enter a book critics writing challenge.

Organised by the Lichfield Festival, the initiative asks those aged 18 and under to submit 500 words and a rating for a book they have read.

A spokesperson said:

> “One of the things we missed most this summer were the wise, witty and wonderfully well-written festival reviews by our young critics.  
>  
> “As we didn’t want to wait until next year, we’re launching a special writing challenge.  
>  
> “So, whether you read something new over the summer and have something to say about it, or have a favourite book that you want everyone to know about, we want to hear from you.  
>  
> “Our favourite reviews will be posted on our website and shared via our social media channels and everyone who sends in a review will be entered into a draw to win a £25 book voucher.”  
>  
> Lichfield Festival spokesperson

Entry closes at 8pm on 16th October. Entries must include a 500 word review naming the book and the author, as well as a rating out of 10.

Parents and guardians can send reviews along with the name and age of the entrant to [info@lichfieldfestival.org](mailto:info@lichfieldfestival.org?subject=Young%20Critics%20Book%20Review%20Challenge).
