500 Word Story Competition

It's back! On Monday 30 January 2012 Chris Evans launched the second 500 WORDS short story competition, open to anyone in the UK aged 13 and under.

Last year the competition had around 30,000 entries and this year is going to be bigger and better than ever!

To enter, your story has to be no more than 500 words, and must be an original fictional work by the entrant. The writers of the 50 best stories will be invited to join Radio 2 when they broadcast the Chris Evans Breakfast Show live from the Hay Festival on Friday 1 June!

Just like last year, they are looking for grown-ups around the UK to get involved, too! They are asking teachers and librarians to volunteer and help judge this year's stories.

So what are you waiting for?
