500 Words Competition - 2017
Writers and readers (ages 5-13) let’s get ready for the 500 word challenge.
- Competition entries for 2017 are open from 8.00am on Monday 16th January and close at 7.00pm sharp on Thursday 23rd February.
- All stories must be submitted via the 500 words website by clicking the link on this page and creating a submission profile. Stories can only be entered by a parent, guardian or teacher on behalf of a child.
- This year we’re also introducing a top tool that allows teachers to submit all their classes’ stories at the same time, so there’s no excuse not to get those creative cogs turning!
And if that’s not enough of an incentive to get writing, then check out the wonderful prizes that you could win at the 500 Words Final, live on the Radio 2 Breakfast show on Friday 16th June.
So what are you waiting for get WRITING!
