The Richard Compton Creative Writing Competition prize winners
The Richard Compton Creative Writing Competition, now in its fourth year, is an annual award established in the memory of Richard Compton, who served as the Clerk of the College’s Corporation from February 1999 until he sadly passed away in October 2010. Richard was a very talented writer, making this competition the perfect way to celebrate his life and remember his remarkable talent.
