The entries will be judged by representatives from WWEand NLT. The winning prize is a trip to see WrestleMania 24 live in Orlando, Florida, the winners of which will be announced in March 2008. Four prizes will be awarded.

Over the last three years, WWE has been working with the NLT to promote reading in schools across England. Using posters featuring WWE Superstars, together WWE and the NLT have strived to communicate that reading is an important and enjoyable part of every day life.
