Super Writers Assemble! We’re inviting all 4-18 year-olds to write a poem or story inspired by superheroes...

We’re inviting all 4-18 year-olds to write a poem or story inspired by superheroes...

From saving the world or a superhero’s day off to discovering their superpower or a new villain, you can create your own superhero to write about or be inspired by an existing one to write your story or poem.

Poems can be in any style, from using the superhero’s name for an acrostic, to rhyme or free verse. Stories have a 250-word limit. 

Marvellous Superheroes is free to enter, selected entrants will be published in a book and every entrant receives a bookmark.

We cannot wait to read the super stories and poems! 🦸

Closing Date: Friday 15th Sep 2023

We've worked with over 20,000 schools. Here's what some of them have to say...
