Young people from across Scotland are being asked to send a letter to the Scottish Parliament setting out their hopes and aspirations for the institution over the next 20 years.
A selection of the letters will be included in a new book published by Luath Press in June to commemorate the Scottish Parliament’s 20th anniversary. The book will also include a series of essays from well-known authors, academics and others which explore how well the Parliament is placed to tackle the big issues facing Scotland in the future.
The competition is being held in partnership with Young Scot who want to engage young people in this important milestone of Scotland’s democracy. It is open to all young people who live in Scotland and are aged between 11-20 and they are invited to contribute a letter of no more than 500 words. The deadline for entries is 20 March 2019.
The winning letters will be chosen by a panel chaired by the Presiding Officer.
