We know that all pupils love to receive certificates that celebrate their efforts and achievements. Writing a story for a creative writing competition takes a lot of time and hard work, so we wanted to give schools the option to be able to acknowledge this through digital certificates that recognise participation in Time to Write 2026.
How to order entrant participation certificates
We will share instructions on how to order these certificates in March 2026, after the winners and runners up in each category have been determined.
An admin fee of £2.00 will be charged per entrant participation certificate. Ordering these certificates is completely optional. The winners, runners up and highly commended writers in each category will still be awarded a free digital certificate as per previous competitions.
As a thank-you for taking part in the shortlisting of entries for Time to Write 2026, we will waive the £2.00 admin fee on these certificates for schools where two or more teachers completed shortlisting.
