The Guardian: Call for entries to The Young Country Diary
Deadline: Thu 29 Sep 2022
Young Country Diary is back open for business, and taking pieces from children about the natural world this autumn. Every three months, as the UK enters a new season, we ask you to send us a piece written by a child aged 8-14.
The article needs to be about a recent encounter they’ve had with nature – whether it’s kicking leaves in the park, finding a worm in the garden or watching a big beast like a red deer. Crucially, it doesn’t matter if the child is a nature expert or has never picked up a pair of binoculars. We are especially keen to reach teachers who might like to get their class outside and noticing nature.
Six winning entries will be published in the Guardian newspaper and online – two on 17 September, two on 15 October and two on 19 November. If you send your piece in early, you stand a chance of being published on 17 September. We will launch a fresh callout for winter pieces in December.
Anyone can enter their child who is aged between 8 and 14 and based in the UK. You the parent/guardian will be contacted if your child’s piece is selected for publication, and you will be paid on behalf of the child.
