This year’s question for reflection is How Can We Prevent Future Wars? 

Tell us what we can do as individuals, communities or nations. What can we learn from the past and what advice can we give to our leaders?

Using poetry, art, speech and song, we would like you to answer this year’s question and have your voice heard.

Entries are divided into the following four age categories*: 

Age 9-11; age 11-14; age 14-16; and age 16-18.

*The crossover of ages in these categories is to ensure children in the same school year have an equal opportunity. Categorisation is at the discretion of Never Such Innocence based on the information provided on the entry form.

Entries must draw on the competition question: How Can We Prevent Future Wars?

If you have any special educational needs you would like the judging panel to be aware of please make a note on your entry form.

All submissions are given a unique entry number to anonymise the judging process. We kindly request that only the title be written on the entry to ensure the submission may be identified and kept anonymous. All other details about the entrant should be confined to the entry form.

There is no entry fee.

Only one entry to each category per individual or group will be accepted; entrants may enter multiple categories (for example one poem and one piece of art may be entered by the same individual).

The judges’ decision is final and neither the judges nor Never Such Innocence staff will enter into any correspondence.
