We will notify the new contestants chosen on Wednesday, May 7. This season's winner is … This season's winner is March – whose real name is Viktoria Law – from St Paul's Convent School. After several creative and challenging rounds, this young teenager's reflective and compassionate writing resonated deeply with Young Post readers, capturing their hearts. Viktoria Law attends St Paul's Convent School. Photo: Handout Congratulations to the first and second runners-up: October, Fiona Lau Yuen-shan from Jockey Club Ti-I College and May, Lam Yick from Ying Wa College. Hear from our Write to Win champion: Viktoria Law, 14, from St Paul's Convent School This incredible journey – from the first round to the final stage of this amazing competition – has been both fun and challenging. When I discovered Write to Win, I immediately felt it was my calling. As a passionate fan of creativity and writing, how could I resist? Every single round was exhilarating. I was constantly on edge, wondering if I would make it to the next stage. With so many remarkable entries competing for a spot on stage, reaching the finals felt like a distant dream. To my surprise, not only did I push through to the last round, but I also learned so much about myself along the way. The path to entering the competition wasn't easy; it involved countless drafts, revisions and moments of self-doubt. Throughout the process, I discovered how to express myself more creatively and explore my writing skills. While winning was a fantastic bonus, the real treasure was the adventure itself. Among the many intriguing questions we had to answer, the one that captivated me the most was from Round 7: 'If you were a school principal, who would you pick to assist you?' My answer was simple: I would include students. As I penned my response, I found myself stumped, pondering whom I would ask for help. Then, a thought struck me – why not choose students? As one myself, I have always wanted to share my thoughts on school policies. I realised I could write about the importance of student involvement in supporting the principal. By doing this, not only would everyone's voices be heard, but the workload would also be significantly reduced. Imagine how incredible it would be to see a school thrive through the combined efforts of students and staff! Writing is one of my favourite hobbies, along with drawing and playing musical instruments. Write to Win has broadened my horizons and sparked my creativity with its unique questions. From start to finish, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my voice with readers on this platform. I am especially thankful to those who have supported me during this process, and I owe a great deal to the editors at Young Post for helping me hone my writing skills and embrace the challenges with positivity. We prepared some exciting prizes for our top three contestants: Winner: Kindle, City'super voucher and a YP certificate First runner-up: Instax camera and a YP certificate Second runner-up: City'super voucher and a YP certificate
