This free competition, is now open to four- to 19-year-olds across the UK. Encourage young people to let their imaginations run wild as they write a story based on the new theme for 2020: Everyday Heroes.
Following an extraordinary year of disruption, we've updated our competition theme, to provide children with a positive outlet to highlight the extraordinary stories that have emerged throughout the year. We want children to have the opportunity to write their own tales of people who have made a difference to them.
Whether it’s a story about someone in their local community, a key worker making a difference, a family member or friend that inspires them or even a superhero from their imagination, we want children and young people to get creative and reflect their own personality, location and experiences in their tales. And who says the hero needs to be a human? It could be a story about a guide dog or even a cat that comes to save the day!

Entries will need to be submitted online by 17:00 on Friday 27 November 2020, so the expert judging panel can decide on the winning collection of short stories. The winning tales selected from schools and regions across the UK will be illustrated and published for all to enjoy.
