It is with much regret that Insight Publications has made the decision not to go ahead with this year’s Insight Creative Writing Competition. The Insight Creative Writing Competition has been a highly popular and rewarding endeavour. Unfortunately, the current health crisis has forced us to reassess our priorities. We feel that a dedicated focus on flexible delivery of new and existing resources is how we can best assist both teachers and students during this challenging period. We very much look forward to receiving your entries in future competitions, once things return to normal.


Thank you to everyone who entered the Insight Creative Writing Competition 2019. Congratulations to all the winners.
