Poetry Competitions for Schools

Young Writers' My First Story competition is now open!


My First Story is a brand new creative writing competition from Young Writers. We are inviting nursery leaders to send in short stories by nursery children of all ages to be considered for publication in a special anthology.



How It Works...

We have created four themed storyboards that the children can choose from. Using the picture each child can let their imagination run wild and tell a nursery assistant or their parent what they see, and can then develop a story. Each story submitted and selected for publication will have the scene printed alongside their story to showcase a very touching, personal story.
