Do your children spend all day on their computers? Well here is something inspirational they can use use their computers for if they are aged between 7 and 11? Could they write a story about changing the world?
Torbay Stories is a short story competition, run in association with the national charity Vinspired, for 7-11 year olds from Torbay. They are looking for stories up to 500 words long on the theme of
‘Changing the World for the Better’.
They would love to read stories around this theme - they can be as serious, as funny, as weird or strange as you’d like! The competition will be judged by brilliant local children’s authors Ellen Renner, Myfanwy Cook and David Lawrence Jones. There will be one winner and two highly commended stories selected, the writers of which will win some great prizes!
All stories will be published on the Torbay Stories blog at
torbaystories.wordpress.com
The closing date of the competition is 30th April 2012.
