Hello!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, either as an individual student, a class or a whole school, in Stylefit’s Student Writing Competition this year. We had over 3000 entries, with all students doing an absolutely incredible job!
We want to thank participating schools for trialling Stylefit and know from the ton of feedback we received that students loved getting instant guidance on their writing and playing around with the software! We’ve also heard that this competition has encouraged previously not-so-keen writers to enjoy the subject, and hope they continue to write!
An enormous thank you is very much due to our incredible judges: Suraya Dewing, Anna Kenna, Tessa Duder, Robyn Pearce and Jo Emeney. Another to all the wonderful organisations that partnered with us to sponsor this year’s prizes! Thank you, Noel Leeming, PaperPlus, Matakana Village Books, ByteEd, NZ Geographic, MOTAT and Gold Media. Your support means a lot!
And now, for the winners!
