Competitions

The Classical Association is delighted to announce a Mythology Competition for school students, or those being home-educated, both in the UK and across the world, who are in Key Stages 2 and 3 (or equivalent) i.e. aged 7-14. This was previously the Minimus Mythology Competition run by the Primary Latin Project, and has now been brought under the aegis of the Classical Association.

Students are invited to submit a piece of Creative Writing, Art or an animation in response to all or a part of:

Key Stage 2: The Wooden Horse

Key Stage 3: Romulus and Remus

We would suggest students familiarise themselves with the myth through any anthology, and perhaps also listen to the myth being read. Students might be interested in reading the winning story of our CA Creative Writing Competition by Allan Gaw (2022), which was inspired by the Wooden Horse and was narrated by the author Lindsey Davis on our podcast.

Please read the General Guidelines below and the further information about each type of submission. Submissions should be made to tildesley20@gmail.com by Friday 9th May 2025. There are book token prizes to be won!
