Courage

Hawkeye Director, Carolyn Martinez said she commended all 203 entrants because it takes a great deal of courage to send those agonised-over stories out into the world to be judged by others.

Entries did not disappoint our judges who were again spoilt for choice. With covid the relentless cloud of 2021, the story of courage is one most readers will easily relate to.
