The theme for the 2022 Ovacome Writing Competition is ‘Perspective’. This theme can be interpreted in many different ways – the possibilities are endless!. Your short story does not have to be about health or ovarian cancer.
Creative writing promotes happiness and mental wellbeing, so this is a great opportunity to express yourself, whether you are an experienced writer or have never written a story before. We can’t wait to read your inspiring and creative stories!
The competition is judged by call the midwife stars Jenny Agutter and Stephen McGann.
