This competition is for young literary talents to express their creativity, hone their craft and share their unique voices.
​
Every story has the potential to captivate and inspire, so the competition is not restricted to genre and instead acknowledges the limitless potential of the next generation of writers.
​
The stories you will read on this site are a testament to the fact that age is no barrier to creativity.
