Aspiring Authors Through N.E.w Author Competition

With the N.E.w Author Competition in full swing, the KooBits team has been busy conducting multiple trainings. Even during the school holidays, students from the Raffles Girls' Primary School and North View Primary School were still eager enough to go back to school just for our KooBits training! Talk about enthusiasm!

Since three weeks ago, the KooTrainers have been running around the whole of Singapore because this year's N.E.w Author Competition is held nationwide for every level! As long as you are still studying, you can join us in this exciting book creation competition too.

Through the training sessions of 2 hours, I have seen some interesting stories being created by the students. Some of them are already uploaded onto KooBits' Library. There was an animated book about the policeman who commited suicide by Noelle from Damai Primary and another entitled "The Tiger & The Deer" by Tan Yi Hui from North View Primary.

Check out Noelle's book here!

Training will be officially ending by the end of this week. All of us have had an awesome time interacting with different students and inspiring each other with creative book ideas or even pictures. Do you know you can make your book more realistic by adding shadows?

Step 1: Duplicate your image

Step 2: Change the color of one image to black

Step 3: Shift the picture via the Layer Panel if you have used the duplicated image

Alright, guys! The deadline for the submission of your books is between April 13 (Next Monday!) to April 20, 2009! Do take note and upload your books onto the N.E.w Author Website and even KooBits website, to share with the KooBits Team who have trained you painstakingly.

All the best to everyone! We will see you at the award ceremony!


Ooops! Before I end off, look what I have found during training in Temasek Primary!
