THE imagination of these children ran wild when they entered drawing and writing competitions run by Hillingdon Council. <br />
<br />
There were two challenges set during spring half-term — one related to the Sweet Valley American teenage books and the other to Dr Who. <br />
<br />
Entrants had to imagine a new character had come to live in Sweet Valley, and describe it in either words or pictures. <br />
<br />
The second challenge was to invent a new monster or enemy to challenge Dr Who. Again entries could be in written or visual form.<br />
<br />
Sweet Valley winners were: 7-9 years: best drawing, Victoria Jarvis, 9, of Ickenham: best writing. Paula Louison, 9. of Hayes. 10 to 15 years: best drawing, Caroline Arnett, II, of Hayes; best writing. Deborah Jones, 13, of Hayes.<br />
<br />
Prizes were copies of Sweet Valley books, signed by their creator, Francine Pascal.<br />
<br />
Dr Who winners were: 7-9 years: best drawing, Sarah Spencer, 8, of East-cote; best writing, Kieran O'Brien, 7, of Ruislip Manor. 10 to 15 years: best drawing, Stuart Headlam, 14, of Icken-ham; best writing, Gary Murphy, 12, of Ruislip Manor.<br />
<br />
Dr Who books, signed by local authors Pip and Jane Baker, were awarded to the winners.<br />
<br />
All 50 entries are on display at Ickenham library until April 4.<br />
