'My Holiday Memories'
As part of this year’s International Dylan Thomas Day, which is celebrated on 14 May each year, our educational and schools programme DylanED is inviting primary schools to take part in a very special competition.
The competition, which is entitled ‘My Holiday Memories’ is based around the 1946 radio broadcast Holiday Memory - Dylan Thomas’ classic recollection of the sights and sounds of sunshine-laden bank holidays spent with his family as a small boy on the lively Swansea seashore.
Following in the footsteps of Swansea’s foremost writer and storyteller, the competition will look for pupils aged 8-11 to submit a short story (100 words), poem or picture of their own fondest holiday memories.
*All entries must be submitted via the child's teacher / school.
The overall winner will receive a goody bag. Selected entries will feature in an online exhibition in celebration of 'Dylan Day.'
Entries should be submitted electronically by Friday 2nd May 2025 to cultural-institute@swansea.ac.uk with the title ‘My Holiday Memories'
