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.
