500 words: BBC children's story writing competition27 September 2023 (by Andy Gilbert (Andy)) |
Hosted by BBC Teach this creative writing competition is for primary-aged children aged 5-7 and 8-11 year-olds.
Children of all abilities can enter, and young writers don’t need to worry about punctuation or spelling, they just need to get their stories out in under 500 words!
50 finalists will be invited to a star-studded event at Buckingham Palace in February next year.
To find out more about the competition, how to enter and incredible prizes, check out the 500 Words website.
