What is ‘Wanted - Lost and Found?

Wanted is a creative writing competition and poetry/ mini saga anthology organised by Young Writers.

It is a UK-based organisation which runs writing contests for children and teenagers. The project is typically aimed at people 10-18 where people who enter the competition are challenged to produce a 100 word mini-saga.

They then choose selected entries from submissions submitted by students and publish them in regional and national print anthologies.
