HKYWA Winner: Celebrating Maya! 🎉
We are incredibly proud to announce that one of our youngest writers - Maya - has won the Fiction 1 category at the prestigious Hong Kong Young Writers Awards (HKYWA).
Thousands of students enter this competition. To be recognised is incredible. To win? That is extraordinary.
And Maya is only in Grade 1.
Her HKYWA entry was written independently, as the competition requires. Maya embraced this challenge with courage and focus. But the skills she used? Crafting characters. Describing a world. Developing a plot. Finding the right words. Those are skills she has been quietly building with us. She did the work. We just had the privilege of watching..
✦ Maya
Maya has been with Story Tellers for years.
When she first joined, her feet barely touched the floor.
Her stories were short. But even then, there was something there - a spark.
Week by week, she listened. She tried. She revised. She never gave up, even when writing felt hard. And quietly, without fuss, she became a storyteller.
To Our Champion
You did this. Your imagination. Your hard work. Your voice.
We are so proud to be part of your story.
We cannot wait to see what you write next.
