BIBA Short Story Competition 2023
In early 2023, the Sycamore Literature Club hosted a student-led short story competition for BIBA middle school and high school students. The submissions were judged by senior students from IBDP2 English Language and Literature and moderated by IBDP English teacher Mr. Christopher Bolduc, author of 2020 Nonlocal and short story collection Comorbidities. Out of over a dozen submissions, one, two and three short stories were awarded first, second and third prizes respectively, and winners received certificates and PTA coupons.
