Our newest section, Creative Writing, was created in 2021 opening up the section with a poetry and prose Competition. Continuing this each term, the section is accompanied by digital art from Lancaster students Amy Brook and Teddy Khanna. The Creative Writing section and deputy editors decided on the winners of the Michaelmas Freshers writing competition together, while the Lent term competition was decided by votes from readers via a poetry showdown on the SCAN Instagram page.
