The winners have now been announced and the competition is closed!
The Rules:

1.

Your story must be 500 words or less.

2.

The content must be suitable for all ages and contain nothing explicit.

3.

Please do not post anything that you are submitting as a piece of school coursework.

4.

One entry per person.

All entries must be submitted before 22nd April

The Prizes:

There will be a £25 book voucher for the best overall story! For those who think outside the box, there's a £10 book voucher for the best original idea. Finally, we're going to pick an entry at random to win another £10 voucher!

Best of luck to everyone who takes part! To enter, post your thread in the English Forum, with the thread title as your story title, and then post the link in this thread to make your entry official!
