There were over 160 entries in the 2018 contest, all starting with the words, “Only one person knew the truth." The judges at every stage carefully read each entry in order to narrow the field and select the ten finalists. These ten stories went to the finalist judges – Betty Goulden, CFUW president, Laura Finney, a journalist for the York Region Media Group and our celebrity judge, Jennifer Dance, a Stouffville author – and they chose the three winning entries.
