“From Canvas to Pen” Poetry and Short Story Competition

The results have been announced for the now-traditional “From Canvas to Pen” Poetry and Short Story Competition, held for the twelfth time this year by Notre-Dame de Sion High School Education Foundation’s Neslin Değişen Sesi Middle School to develop students’ ability to express their feelings and thoughts in different literary genres, bring them together with literature and reveal their talents.

In the competition, open to all middle schools in Istanbul, our Grade 6 student Sue Bade Çetinsaya won first prize in poetry with her poem “Gelmelerin Türküsü” (“Song of Arrivals”), and Zeynep Hevi Uzel took second prize with “Gidiyorum” (“I Am Leaving”), bringing honour to themselves and to us. Our Grade 7 student Emir Kürşat Özdemir received an honourable mention in the short story category.

We congratulate our students and wish them ever-growing success.
