Congratulations to Lily Briegel, aged 8 from Derbyshire, who has been awarded this year’s top prize.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lily\u2019s alternative take on her creative Christmas story, <\/span>\u2018Rudolph The Red Nosed Unicorn\u2019 has won her the title of Write Christmas Champion 2017 and \u00a31,500 for her school. She will also be awarded a Christmas stocking packed full of goodies. Judge and best selling author Sam Hay said \u2018<\/span>Hilarious! I absolutely loved this poem. The highly inventive idea of Santa\u2019s reindeer wanting a new look and deciding to become unicorns really made me laugh. So much fun! The perfect Christmas poem.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

The winner of the age four to six category is Jude Staff from Cheltenham, who wrote a heartwarming story about <\/span>a boy surprising his lonely older relative on Christmas Day. Sam Hay loved this story as it captured the true spirit of Christmas. For this, Jude has won \u00a3250 for his school and a stocking full of goodies for himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winner of the age ten to 11 category is Isabella Quaggiotto who wrote a joyful poem describing Santa\u2019s arrival at a snow-covered village. Isabella has won \u00a3250 for her school for her creative efforts and a Christmas stocking full of gifts for herself. Our judge said: \u2018<\/span>She had some lovely phrases about \u2018snow putting everything to sleep\u2019 and Santa flying away on \u2018a blanket of stars. I loved this.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
