Wigtown Book Festival Education Programme


Why is this enewsletter so short?

We’ve just heard that Wigtown Festival Company has been 

shortlisted in a national funding scheme run by RBS and 
we’d love you to vote for us.

Why is the public vote important?
It’s like an additional, enthusiastic member of the judging 

panel so the more votes we get, the better.

What happens if you win?
If our application is selected, we’ll receive funding towards 

our Education Programme, which brings school pupils to 
the book festival and takes authors out to schools across 
the region.

What do I have to do?
Please vote online at 
http://skillsandopportunitiesfund.rbs.co.uk/vote.html.
It takes less than a minute and the deadline is 

Friday 22nd April.

Anything else?
Please tell your friends and help us spread the word.

If you’d like to Tweet about the public vote, here’s a 
suggestion:
