Moss won a a ee ee : prize in the B.C. Royal Commonwealth Essay Competition and Brayshaw won first prize in fiction and non-fiction categories of the Pacific Northwesi Writers’ Conference. Loca! students win contests TWO NORTH Shore stu- dents have won prizes in regional writing contests. By OLGA RUSKIN Contributing Writer Hillside Secondary student Christopher Brayshaw, 16, receiv- ed first prize in both the fiction and non-fiction categories of the Pacific Northwest Writers’ Con- ference. And, Jennifer Moss, 15, also of Hillside, has won a prize in the B.C. Royal Commonwealth Essay Competition. . The Pacific Northwest Writers’ Conference is open to high school students living in the Pacific Nor- thwest region, from Alaska to California. It is the third year in a row Brayshaw has placed in the top three, but this is the first year - he has won both categories. ~ Moss won a prize of $250 in the ‘' Class B division for 14 to 15 year ' olds. She wrote an essay on Com- monwealth Day but ended with ‘‘a three-minute radio script as. if Vicki Gabereau of the CBC were interviewing me about Com- monwealth Day.”’ She credits her Socials teacher, Louise Scheffer, for her -win. Scheffer had her Socials class write the essays, and then submitted several of them, including Moss’, to the competition. A Grade 9 stu- dent, Moss has written for Hillside’s literary magazine, Dream of the Butterfly. , former Brayshaw’s first-place entry for fiction was a short story called Signals or Looking for the J-Zone. The idea for this came from the explanation given to him by some- one in Vancouver painting graffiti, who said J-Zone referred to a city beneath the city. The story is about a New Westminster boy who falls in love with a girl who disappears into the J-Zone. His first-place non-fiction award was for an essay, The Art of Writ- ing Creatively Bizarre Fiction, which he feels he does. For each of his first-place entries he received $75, which he is putting towards car insurance. Though an honor-role student and in Hillside’s Challenge pro- gram, he feels he could do better at school, ‘‘but writing comes first. ! really enjoy writing and telling ‘stories. Right now it’s fun.’’ He hopes his writing will reach the 10 * to 25-year-old age group. What about the future? His English teacher Elinor Martin sees him as a scriptwriter because of “this descriptive abilities and abilities with dialogue.”’ For the time being, Brayshaw is working on a new novel called Space Music, about a 16-year-old boy who puts a UFO engine into his 1950 DeSoto, and is then kid- napped by aliens. He would also like to go to UBC, then become a teacher or journalist, or if he can, ‘ive in a cabin on the Gulf Islands and write two novels a year.”” Combine the delectables with the great estate wines of B.C.
