A note from the Editors-in-Chief…
First of all, we would like to thank you for entering the fourth annual Cambridge Language Collective Schools' Competition! We have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your submissions, there was such a breadth of ideas and innovation across a wide number of languages and cultures, and it was refreshing to read such thought-provoking and high-quality pieces. The levels of accuracy, style and enthusiasm were extremely encouraging and it is truly fantastic to see such talent at such a young age.
We would like to re-iterate our congratulations to each and every participant. Please keep in touch with the CLC on our socials where you can continue to be updated on everything we get up to.
Wishing you all the very best going forward!
With warmest wishes,
Soraya Shakibi and Alex Brian
