WHO CAN ENTER 500 WORDS? 500 Words is open to any child who is aged between 5 and 13 years old on 8th June 2018, and is a full time resident of the UK. Chris Evans created the competition to celebrate imagination and creativity - not spelling and grammar! - so all children of all abilities are invited to enter. HOW TO ENTER We can only accept entries that have been submitted through our online form, using a registered 500 Words account. Parents or guardians can create a SUBMITTER ACCOUNT Please don’t leave registration to the last minute! Entries are open NOW until 7pm on Thursday 22nd February . Stories can be copied and pasted into the submission form within the account (please read our FAQ and Rules regarding this) or stories can be saved as drafts along the way. Please be aware that we are unable to send you a copy of any submitted stories, so make sure you keep one. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Once stories have been submitted entrants will be able to download a 500 Words certificate to celebrate their achievement! We’ll be in touch in March to let submitters know whether their stories have made it through the first round of judging. Check out the wonderful prizes that you could win at the 500 Words Final at Hampton Court Palace, live on the Radio 2 Breakfast show on Friday 8th June . Get writing, and good luck! “Let your imagination run wild” The Duchess of Cornwall “We can’t wait to read the super stories conjured up by this year’s young writers.” Chris Evans For full details go to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/13FxbKl0D1DP80zvWRgw2CK/submit-your-500 words-story MTP Literacy
