Also, don't apply if you haven't read Blanchot

The Times and The Booktrust Teenage Prize have teamed up to launch a competition for budding book reviewers. Write us a review of any book (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc): it doesn’t matter whether you loved it or hated it. The only rules are that you can't have studied it at school and the review must not be more than 150 words.

Don't you just hate that word: budding?
