This year’s LitLinks entrants have again entertained us, letting their imaginations run riot on the page. There was no shortage of hard-hitting topics covered: cultural alienation, diversity, and displacement; power struggles incorporating duels, battles and assassinations; animal welfare; and the impacts of technology and data breaches, to name just a few. Metaphor and allegory were deftly used across all age groups, showing risk-taking and courage in the writing.

Congratulations to one and all of our entrants for providing a rich and diverse showcase of storytelling in the 2023 Competition.
