The Young Writers Competition is part of a research project at Keele University and is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The project has been approved by the Keele University Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Ethics Committee.

​

The research is looking at how young people view and make sense of social media. The submitted stories form part of a wider project, and the insights they provide can help improve things like digital literacy in schools and inform how the government makes decisions about online spaces.

Entrants can choose whether or not their story is included in the research project. If the entrant agrees to their story being used in the research, it will be used anonymously. Personal details remain private, and entrants can change their mind within 21 days.
