500 WORDS: Short story competition for kids

500-words-13-or-under

Radio2 presenter Chris Evans is running his 500 WORDS short story competition for anyone under 13 again this year.

The competition closes quite soon, 7pm on 22nd February, so if you don’t already have a short story prepared that fits the 500 word criteria, you need to get writing.

You could win yourself a pile of books as tall as Chris Evans, and 500 books for your school library!

Sounds pretty cool so why not give it a go? The Isle of Wight is well known for its wealth of literary writers.
