Ovid for All competition

The Ovid for All competition is run by Classics for All and was developed from an initiative set up by the Cambridge Schools Classics Project (CSCP). CSCP run their own Ovid competition online which is open to all UK schools, but they have endorsed our Ovid for All competition which is currently run through our regional networks in Bristol, Birmingham and CfA North and aimed primarily at non specialist Classics teachers.

Based on oral retellings of classical mythologies found in the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the aim of the competition is to get students excited about storytelling and to give them access to the ancient world and these wonderful stories which have survived millennia. 

The stories in Tales of Change are intended to promote literacy skills at KS3 by utilising the power of stories and oral storytelling.
