Stories
Kids' Lit Fest
30 Jan - 5 Feb 2023
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 'ALL ABOARD!'
- whatever that means to you!
A new departure? A journey of discovery? A daydream that takes you somewhere imaginary? A camel ride? A piggy back? Perhaps your story will feature an epic train journey? Or maybe it will be a story about how you are feeling as you travel through different situations? Or it could be about a journey through time and space!
It can be funny, an adventure, fantasy - anything you like.
If you're excited and what to be part of the competition, here's how to enter
Create Your Story!
All you have to do is create a story with the theme of 'All Aboard!'.
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 the entry form below. Or if it’s a film or recording, make sure it’s no longer than two minutes.
There are three age categories:
