Lord of the Flies Schools Competition Winners

Faber and the National Literacy Trust have announced the winners of the schools competition to mark seventy years of Golding’s Lord of the Flies! For the competition, pupils across the UK were asked to create their own diary entry from the island, imagining themselves in the shoes of one of the boys or as if they had landed there with them.

Entries were accepted and encouraged in a range of forms. Prizes included copies of Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel by Aimée de Jongh, a book token, a selection of young adult titles and signed prints.

The joint winners are Harriet Maxfield Sloane, who submitted an individual entry, and Holly Hunter, Sasha Greig, Nadia Bielesz, Franchesca Bocatot, Nasif Adebayo, Febe Otuonye and Tyler Lawrence, who submitted a schools entry on behalf of Lochside Academy, Wellington Circle, Altens, Aberdeen.
