Competition
We love stories! And we’re inviting you to make up your own, as part of the Stepping Into Stories Kids’ Lit Fest
​
The theme this year is 'ROOTED DEEP, BRANCHING FAR' - whatever that means to you!
Rooted deep in family, friendships, community, school, nature? Branching far through courage, imagination, hope, curiosity, adversity?
Your story can be funny, an adventure, fantasy - anything you like.
If you're excited and want to be part of the competition then watch our video and scroll down for how to enter.
Create Your Story!

All you have to do is create a story with the theme of 'ROOTED DEEP, BRANCHING FAR.
You can make your story in any way you want to - drawing, writing, comic strip, drama, poetry, rap, digital animation - just as long as it fits on a single page of paper, or if it’s a film or recording, make sure it’s no longer than two minutes.
There are three age categories:
​
4 - 7 years
8 - 11 years
