How do you feel your school will benefit from holding a mini BWA competition?

"As one of our aims is to raise the profile of writing in our school next year I feel that having a mini BWA competition will help us to achieve this. I feel that it will help us to motivate and enthuse the children to get involved in writing. I also think it will be a great way to reach out to the parents of the children and encourage them to get involved."
